OK, well, probably irrational anxiety but suddenly I'm worried about Sefa. Anyone know how he is tracking for the start of the season? Wasn't Matsushima previously with the 'tahs?

Yep, seems our hotchpotch of benchies were no match for the Blues 18 man bench.

Sounds like we took a good old pantsing in the second half. I did hear the Blues were planning to use 33 players.

No side: 59 - 7

Besides the shoulder injury, in 2014 I thought both Higgers and Pyle were stifled by TT's demands for a tighter game plan. Didn't really suit their style.

Sounds like you're describing Higgers ;)

I'm not sure how accurate that is. There is no mention of any membership package on the Sunwolves website or in their newsletter. They were selling reserved seat packages to all five home games but the maximum price for that deal is 50,000 yen. Pre-booked ticket prices for their home games...

Highlights from the final

Yep, a pretty exciting anti-climax. Just when you thought Toshiba were down and out - they were.

Hmmm - I knew I should have added a disclaimer to that post ;)

Thanks for that but I've just zipped them up and emailed them to an admin.

I have some photos from today. What is the best way to post them?

Better news coverage is one of the benefits of Japan's world cup efforts. Prior to the RWC, rugby was pretty much invisible in the mainstream media. University matches often pull bigger crowds than Top League games - especially when the bigger unis play. Most of the uni league games are...

Yeah, I was lucky enough to catch most of the game. I found it was on about 25 mins into the first half. Kahui had a blinder, just about unstoppable close to the line. Next week's game should be a cracker.

I don't know what happened to the second match. Just some skiing nonsense instead :(

Craving some rugby? The two semi final matches are on TV this afternoon. Eurosport: 4:00pm Panasonic vs Kobelco 5:45pm Toshiba vs Yamaha

Anyone else planning to go BTW?
