December Yokohama Canon Eagles came to visit!

　On December 7, just before the opening of December 9, Yoshihiro Okamoto, President of Yokohama Canon Eagles, President of Yokohama Canon Eagles, and GM Yoji Nagatomo, came to greet me.

　President Okamoto told us that the Yokohama Canon Eagles will be recognized and established by the local community in Yokohama, the first place where rugby games were held in Japan and also the place of the Rugby World Cup 2019 final. He talked about his focus on rugby promotion activities.
　Nagatomo GM expects the “Kanagawa Invitation DAY” (Sunday, January 27, 2024), which will be held for the first time this year, and won the Rugby World Cup 2023 as a highlight of the match, he won the Rugby World Cup 2023. He talked about the world's top-class play, such as South Africa's national team Fuff De Clark and Jesse Elcri.

　The Nippatsu Mitsuzawa Stadium, where the game will be held this time, is characterized by very close proximity to the field and the audience seats. You can watch the game with plenty of realism, such as the sounds and shouts of players collide with each other, and steam boiling from your body.
　On the day, I would like to support the players on the field with hot cheering together with the inhabitants of the ward. Let's enjoy watching rugby in midwinter with warm clothes!
