Wow! Russia managed to find 15 Russian players for their team.
Japan could only manage 7 so borrowed/ bought 8 others to make up the numbers.

I did not even know that Russia has a rugby team.

Yes, they do. Made up of those who couldn't make the soccer/ Cossack dancing squad. If Japan were to lose tonight, they'd be in dire straits.

Well Japan won tonight, they played well. The Russians played a fair game at the start, though perhaps more needs to be invested into the Sport back home in order to, as Japan has done, present a worthy challenge.
Well done Japan, next game vs Ireland... now that one could be tough.
