The first game was Sunwolves vs Lions. This is the very first time Japan has a team in Super Rugby. We have been looking forward to it. Unfortunately we lost 13-26 but we could see them getting a try!
The great news for us is that we can watch some games live at Singapore National Stadium. There will be three games that the Sunwolves will play here. Being part of the Japanese Association we are invited to a kids rugby practice session with the players early next month too! Very exciting!!
The next game was Crusaders vs Chiefs. Even though they are a new team (not having the star players anymore...) the Crusaders were very good. They just needed one more try... The final score was 27-21.
Well for us once the Rugby season starts things get very social. We will be spending lots of weekends watching rugby matches with friends for a while.
rugby is not more popular than soccer in japan.
