The 5 year residency rule is going to hurt Japan in the future. This is their peak. Unless they can start to nurture more locally born talent.

Logic victory.
Could watch thanks to an internet streaming site. It was on WOWOW here. Away games from the national team does not get the prime

It's must have been a Game to watch. Japan is certainly becoming a contender in the International Sport of Rugby.
Fighto!
Disappointing for the Brave Blossoms. At least they didnt get beaten by as many as when they played England. They seem to have lost their way under Manager Joseph. Throw Mega Millions of $ at Eddie to get him back.!
Well done France. Clear favourites for the Cup.

With a name like the Brave Blossoms, who could argue?

Sven, if you think Australia and South Africa are teams against which it’s « easily possible to win »…you know nothing about rugby !
Japan was crushed by England but was fairly decent against New Zealand 37-31 If I’m not mistaken…so not a team considered by many as easy to defeat !!!Sven Asai
That’s not a perfect year of winning but a perfect year of selecting rival teams against which it is easily possible to win. They could have chosen New Zealand for their training matches or such and then there would have been also a perfect year of winning, but surely not for the French rugby team. lol
