Rugby in Japan
week 10
The World Cup of rugby will be held in Japan in 2019. You may know this. If you don't know, I want you know. The World Cup of rugby gets big box-office proceeds. It gets thirdly as a world event. The event with the largest box-office proceeds is the Olympic, and the second largest is the World Cup of soccer. Japanese people may be surprised at the fact that rugby is popular sport in the world. People all over the world may be surprised like Japanese at unpopularity of rugby in Japan. When the rugby World Cup is held, people all over the world pay attention to Japan than Japanese expectation. In order to make the event a success, many Japanese people take an interest in rugby the event. Moreover, this is the very first World Cup in Asia, Japan want to make success by any means. JRFU calls the whole country "One for all. All for one."
Who do you think play an active part 5 years later? Now, many high school players play rugby. In 5 years later, they will be the main members of the team of Japan. There is the U-18 team of Japan with seven people. Last year, they participated in Asian U-18 championship. Both men's team and women's team participated in as Japan's national team. The tournament was held in Nanjing in August. Such expedition has been invaluable for high school rugby players. The expedition to the foreign countries is rare. And playing with the players who does not usually play together stimulates. In result, men's team won a bronze medal and women's team won a gold medal. A captain of men's team said that the biggest experience for them is to have been able to get a medal, and he was able to realize the difficulty and importance of making a team one. He wanted to spend the coming rugby life by this experience. A captain of women's team said that Asian U-18 championship is the biggest event ever she have taken part in, so she was able to inter change with many overseas players not only rugby players. And through this event, she wanted to go to Olympic more and more. I think that we can hope for their future success. Thinking only so, I come to look forward to five years later.
Until this time, I said about rugby through ten times of blog. Surely it is only you to have read ten times of all the blogs. I am sorry that my writing is hard to read.
Thank you for reading my blog till the last.
