Rugby is one of Japan's best-kept secrets, with 4,785 clubs, over 77,000 adult players (plus over 62,000 younger players) and 3,890 referees -- of varying ability and eyesight! However, this noble sport gets no publicity, with the media pretending it has never heard of the game and strangely secretive administrators! If you are a foreigner living in Japan (or a broad-minded Nihon-jin) and you like rugby, then maybe this is the group for you. This is a place where we can share information on upcoming fixtures, tours and tournaments (both in Japan and elsewhere), and hopefully arrange things so that when we go and watch a game, we go en masse!
