ASIAN RUGBY 2009
A personal look at the the 2009 Asian Rugby tournament.

Japan may be the Asian Giant yet the rugby of the Cherry Blossoms is still well off the pace in Europe, with the Six Nations, and the Southern Hemisphere, with the Tri Nations, and probably much other world rugby.

If Asian rugby is really to jump to the next level they need more pace, more passion, and more - how can it be said - more ooomph.
