パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
Many players from abroad will play in the Japan Rugby Top League next season also. Former All Black Beauden Barrett signed with Suntory Sungoliath. In addition, former Springbok Macazole Mapinpi signed with NTT DOCOMO Red Hurricanes and former Scottish international Graig Laidlaw will end his career as player in NTT Communications Shining Arks. And Kōtarō Matsushima departed for France to join ASM Clermont Auvergne to prepare for the start of the PRO 14 in August.

Super Rugby ends its 25-year history. The NZ Union plans to reconstruct the tournament with the ARU and the unions of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Though it's not certain whether the Sun Wolves will play in it or not, it is said that some high-ranking teams of the Top League will join it and Yūichirō Fujii, a director of strengthening Japanese national team is eager to realise it. As a result, not only Japan but both South Africa and Argentina say farewell to Super Rugby also.
