Japan rout Tonga 41-7 to continue impressive World Cup build-up

Surely, with 8 of the starting 15 players being non-Japanese the team should be renamed “International 15”!

Yeah, if they were solely Japanese players, they'd have been crushed!

Must have been a pretty sweaty game in this heat.

Tonga may have Better Luck against Canada

They shouldn't get their confidence up too much. When theyre up against the big boys they'll know it

Just how many of the 'Japanese' players have Japanese names?

11 out of a 31 strong Japan Rugby Squad.

Strangely enough (?), the same people "concerned" about the non-Japanese sounding names "passing off) in J squads, are the same ones moaning they don't get to hold dual nationality, i.e. they're all dying to be Japanese.

11 have foreign names,

Its not Japan...

At the last World Cup, only Uruguay and Georgia had 100% native squads.

Its teams like Tonga, Fiji and Samoa that lose players.

Come on world rugby. Sort it out!

Just how many of the 'Japanese' players have Japanese names?

Does it matter?
