OBD, your link did not work for me. When my sister, who follows rugby and is visiting me, mentioned to me tonight, that South Africa had lost to Japan, I could not help it, I just burst out laughing! That is almost unbelievable!

I wonder what you would see if you looked at pictures of the Japanese players at the last world cup. I wouldn't be surprised if their players have bulked up miraculously ?

But I did hear a few years ago that Japan were taking Rufby Union a lot more seriously and pumping money into it. Maybe all the effort and cash is finally paying off?

Not really. Their pack is one of the lightest and their team is one of the shortest in the tournament. Nothing to do with size. They have improved dramatically over the past few years and their goal is to reach top 10.

As much as I was unhappy with the result, I couldn't help but think this is great for world rugby.

And in other shocking events, the lions beat the sharks ?

Hardly shocking either, the Sharks are directionless. ;)
