Match Predictions ?

 

[Japanese_Hero]

dam Yamaha Jubilo wouldn't be an easy game atleast were at home so theres a slight advantage for us

 

[Onozawa365]

wild knights to beat canon eagles by miles

 

[Yoichi]

ohh brave lupus will have a hard game against suntory

 

[Japanese_Hero]

when playing suntory last week it showed that our defense were awful we need to improve this when playing Yahama Jubilo or we definitely wouldn't have a chance to win

 

[yt1993]

here does anyone know where i can get updates of the lower leagues like the top-west league stuff like that. not like i need it but it would be useful to tell people who are interested in japanese rugby and also wants to know about shane williams progress and stuff like that

 

[Japanese_Hero]

i dont know any but have you tried the JRU website that might have some stuff

 

[Onozawa365]

but to be fair Canon Eagles have been playing good so im not going to underestimate them

I'm really excited that the TOP LEAGUE finally gets regular attention on this board but...do we seriously have a small group of posters who only post here? This is awesome!

Do any of you have a link to the highlights website? You all need to start a Japan thread in the International Rugby section!

unfortunately i cant find any websites with match highlights or live matches which i know would be good since there are big matches tomorrow and yeah its only a group of 7 who are regular posters but we are trying to get more people into top league rugby im sure you'll love the matches

You all need to start a Japan thread in the International Rugby section!

already is one but we dont post much on it

 

[Prestwick]

I see that there a lot of highlights on YouTube now and a couple of full highlights with english commentary I'll start to take a closer look into it!
