We have been playing against the South African teams in the last tour. We were surprised of the speed ofthe New Zealand teams but we improved ourselves gradually and adjusted well by the Highlanders game.
We will keep improving and hopefully we would be able to do the things we intend to in the Chiefs game.
Personally, I experienced the fun of the life surrounded by rugby everywhere with the Chiefs players
in JRFU ATQ overseas abroad program that I participated. I would like to show them what I learned from them and how improved I am by committing everything I have into the game on this weekend.
We are getting bigger organization than the last season and some players has gone some has come. We all are trying to understand what we are trying to do.
We had family like atmosphere with a small team. We are getting to have similar atmosphere with bigger team which is good for Japan rugby.

We fell back a little in some part of the tour but we came back and stepped up in the game against the Highlanders.We must get together as a team again to face against the Chiefs.
We have lost the game last weekend but we realized that we are improving ourselves well and everyone feels positive and motivated to confront against the Chiefs.
