This documentary convinced us that Japan will become THE rugby superpower

[@Danilyn_Livao]

What an incredible documentary! You’ve done an amazing job showcasing Japan’s journey and potential in the rugby world. It’s hard not to believe they’re destined to be a rugby superpower. Brilliant storytelling as always! 🙌

Japs are just too small to ever be a true rugby power

Hey, there is no need to throw hate. Its okay to disagree, but either way its nice to see the passion and dedication to the sport we all love.

A warrior culture. Not surprising that they took to rugby, and I think that’s a shot in the arm for rugby. And one must respect the ambition to fight an uphill battle where the odds are heavily stacked against them.

[@davidstrand9106]

In terms of Japan on the international stage, they need to develop some bigger players to enhance their game. Alternatively, develop a style of play that suits their physically to their advantage.

[@quickdigest]

They need to take notes from Argentina and build off that

What happened to the Waseda program, they used to be dominant.

[@Mana-m3g5o]

They defeated teikyo by a lot of points just 2 weeks ago, Waseda is the favorite to take it out this year 🔥

Great documentary and respect to Japan. Zero chance Japan become THE rugby superpower… literally zero chance

[@stratocastit]

World class players, but poor system. No support for grassroots, university system stunting player growth and a lack of a club system. They’ll figure it out like they did with soccer and baseball, but a long way yet.

True

Rugby is too underground and developed only around university years and university circles. That's why Japan can't become the next powerhouse. It doesn't build and train a pool of talents big enough, the rugby culture isn't big enough.

[@bennwaters5851]

Hmmm Im not so sure about your conviction. Japanese rugby relies very very heavily on foreign born players for any success at the professional level. The university league has a great history and rivalries but it's the same five or six teams making the semi finals and finals every year. The skill level and decision making at the university level isn't great either. They are super fit and willing though and that's what makes it fun come the business end of the season. Lastly the Japan U20 don't make a dint at the U20 World Cup and they are all chosen from the premier university teams.

Audio and video are misaligned...

They’re too small to become a super power. They can import as many islanders as they like

[@philipbenjamin4720]

They will find another way to win - Exhibit A - a basketball example - Jalen Brunson.

All blacks when they Carter, Mcaw and Lomu still solo.

"THE rugby superpower" is having their asses handed to them by a team who has lost the majority of their tests to tier 1 nations in 2024. AGAIN. Maybe you don't understand what "superpower" means?

[@gasparwimb3964]

Just watched England vs International team called Japan. 59 ... hilarious.

Do South Africa NEXT

[@jean-pascalesparceil9008]

"convinced us that Japan will become THE rugby superpower" ? WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING ? One good university program and championship when the major rugby countries have been running schools (beginning at U 16) championships for ages? Pro players in these countries are beginning to play rugby or similar ball sports (Ireland, Australia) at age 6. Then there is the size challenge, foreign players recruited for size in the national team are not among the best in their own country. The Japanese pro league is a resting place for foreign internationals: good money, less matches and less intensity than their domestic league, less risks of injury. Japan, is currently 13th in the WR men's ranking, can one really see the Brave Blossoms overcomming the 10th team ?

[@gasparwimb3964]

Half of national team foreigners. Not impressed
