Three-times-reigning-champion, Japan will play all games “away” this year due to the devastating earthquake in March. Among the team members is forward Hatakeyama, whose family home was swept away by the tsunami. National coach John Kirwan says “The people of Japan have been resilient and showed tremendous courage after the tragedy. I want the players to take these qualities on to the rugby field.”
They play the newly formed UAE national team, which replaced former regional union, Arabian Gulf. The UAE team has just enjoyed their maiden win (24-10) against Kazakhstan, the second best team of Asia.
The Japanese side have dedicated all games this season to remembering the victims of the tragedy. The UAE Rugby association has also expressed support to this campaign and has kindly offered all proceeeds of the programme to go to the earthquake fund. Please come and show your support!
