Rugby Boys from Japan in 2012

Rugby Boys from Japan in 2012

In the past 3-4 years, I have met a few Japanese players every season.
One is from University team, & others are from Senior team.

As I posted previously, I have involved a coaching job at Uni-North club and this season, we received 4 Japanese players from Japan. (3 stayed only couple of months)
I would like to put up some their effort during competition here.



They showed quality of performance and staying a just couple of months was too short for them to show what they can actually do on the field.

Against Queanbeyan game, they managed to fight against a few Brumbies Squad members which I'm sure that it would be a part of great experiences they had in Australia.


The youngest one who stayed whole season, will head to Scotland to play rugby for a couple of months before he moves back to Japanese university rugby training. He was the one who showed the greatest adaptation to situation.
Of course, he knew that he was going to stay here for a year, hence he must have managed his life well as well as developing his skills and physicality in rugby.




Hope the decision the young boy did make, will become more common in Japan.
Very brave decision and he has lived here very strong and tough with his new friends and coaches.
