Victory in the First Game

The Rugby World Cup started yesterday.

As host nation, Japan played the first game. It was a victory 30-10 versus Russia. Russia is not a hoghly ranked rugby nation, so this may not account for so mich. Nevertheless, it is a victory, and this is what counts.

Needless to say, I hope Japan will go far in the tournament. Except for Japan in Pool A, I also hope for the USA in Pool C. In Pool D, I may root for Australia, one of my late Auntie Linni’s favourite countries, since her father was from Australia. Neither Sweden, nor Norway or Belgium have been able to qualify for the World Cup.
