it's normal that there is a lack of efficiency in Japanese rugby. already what they have achieved for a decade is incredible. First, they relied on quite a few naturalizations, which are at the end of their careers. second, they developed their championships with a JIFF system like in France. it will eventually pay off. In France, it took 10 years to produce results. Third, the former Japanese stars will enter the educational system of rugby, and bring their experiences. One thing that is acquired is that the Japanese people are always present behind their team, we saw it in November, and we still see it today. Give them time. And then I think that the presence of the hopes that are Japan, and Georgia, are good for our sport which remains a sport of little widespread.

If they are so washed up then why do top professional sides pay them big money to win and that's what they have been doing winning in professional A class rugby Malchai fekitoa, Charles Pitau even Steven luatua who plays for Samoa ain't playing for the All blacks because they have had to sit out 3 years by choice to play for Tonga and Samoa because they have always had a dream to play for their beloved countries. Because world Rugby has finally let top class international rugby players play for their countries of birth or of decent. It's going to be the most exciting rugby world cup with massive upsets. Theses south Pacific teams are going to be dangerous, I have been watching all progress of all three Fiji dangerous, Tonga and Samoa are dangerous. They will learn from wins and losses. Another guy bringing up they played top japanese team and lost. people look at how much they lost by a couple of points and Tonga didn't even play their top A class team, Like I said before they are sorting out game plans and seeing who plays best in every possession and trying not to injure their top professional players before the world cup begins, and it starts in one month and 7 days. Just sit back and enjoy the rugby. We all could be judging 🧐 the Australian Wallibes because of their poor performance but I know by the time the Rugby world cup 2023 starts Eddy Jones will help them be better and I still wouldn't count them out to not be dangerous in their pool. Eddy has the experience as a top class coach. All he needs is players that are fighting for every possession in their 1st 15 that want to win by listening to the coaches game plan as well as knowing when to step up with their natural skills that can turn games around on offense and defense. Just sit back enjoy the rugby because teams will always win and teams will always lose but we will not always have the great rugby players that played for these top international rugby countries and teams. Peace ✌️.

It’s a big improvement from last year. Vaea Fifita has been a beast for them. They left out Fekitoa, Folau and George Moala from this game. Japan is a good side and if Tonga hadn’t missed that easy conversion and conceded that needless penalty from their dominant scrum, this would have been 18 - 18 against Japan who are now a tier 1 side.
