This behemoth Just named in the Japanese u19 squad - was thinking 'good luck lifting him in the lineouts' - then realised 'PR' likely means he is a Prop, so he should be able to throw your average Lock up a long way!

Crucially they will have a warm up against Japan, whereas we will have a grand total of two weeks to embed an entire new set up. Bizarre choice by Razor, as normally they have camps and the team is name after the quarters getting the losers time to get the ball rolling for the other teams members coming in.

Aside from the amusement of the forwards getting the good seats, and backs into economy. How the fuck do you make a fifteen million euro loss in a rwc hosting year?
France have taken drastic measures to save money on their tour to South America, where they will face Argentina and Uruguay.
