Rugby News Japan on air


Like all rugby players I have always hoped to get bigger, faster and better.

(I should of course clarify that I am talking about the blog/website as age means that is no longer physically possible for this writer.)

Having filed my first reports back in the day of the typewriter, it's taken a while for me to get to grips with all this technology. But am finally at the stage where I am going to give it a go.

Rugby News Japan (http://rugbynewsjapan.com) will hopefully soon become the go-to site for news – both and off the field – on rugby in Japan.

With Japan getting a Super Rugby side, more international sides set to tour here and of course Rugby World Cup 2019 on the horizon, there is – much like the playing talent here – a lot of untapped potential.

Through the site we hope to provide a glimpse of what Japan has to offer for players, coaches and fans alike, not to mention a foreign take on some of the quirky things that occasionally raise their head.

So if you know a company that wants to be associated with the growing rugby scene, a fan keen to know how an old favourite is getting on in the Land of the Rising Sun or just plain curious as to what a Verblitz, Sungoliath or Voltex are, then spread the word.

Rugby News Japan wah ichi-ban desu.


This site will remain but all new stories, features etc will be updated to http://rugbynewsjapan.com


And news updates can be found on Twitter at
