So, I went to see the Under 19 Rugby World cup the other day. I went along to support Japan in their match against Samoa. They were beaten pretty badly in previous games by Argentina and New Zealand but they came out fighting in this match and started off really well. The wind was against them but they fought hard and scored first but missed out on a conversion. They started to fade a bit and conceeded a few points. Overall I was impressed by their courage and fight and even thought they lost the score wasn't too bad (28-12). They were so miserable and dejected after the game but they came to thank the japanese supporters. Some of them were really cute. I loved it...lol.
They are playing Ireland on Tuesday so I will try to go and show them some support. It's over at Shaw's Bridge at 7.30 so come along if you can!

Well sadly i can't make it to that match Clare!
I guess the under 19's are just like their first XV counterparts in that they are still a way from breaking the tri-nations/6 nations (plus Argentina) stranglehold on the game.
Was very surprised to read about you watching a rugby game. I guess its a good excuse to meet a japanese person or two and brush up on your japanese but i guess u will be hoping the Irish tonk them next time which they inevitably will.
Take it easy
