Pikenoyama 27 Posted September 21, 2015 It has been mentioned during the mentioned match, that "the Brave Blossoms" first line is known for using a sumo training methods. Maybe other rugby teams might take it as a best practice;-). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pica-Pica 24 Posted September 23, 2015 What a surprise! The Japanese were 10,000 to 1 outsiders for the tournament. The Springboks -- although shocked and dismayed by the loss -- graciously admitted their opponents played a smart game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
