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! 🙌
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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?
"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 ?

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.

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

They need to take notes from Argentina and build off that

Just watched England vs International team called Japan. 59 ... hilarious.
They’re too small to become a super power. They can import as many islanders as they like
They will find another way to win - Exhibit A - a basketball example - Jalen Brunson.
@@philipbenjamin4720who is Jalen Brunson and what has he ever won?
