Expecting the final day without fearing bad weather…. Nijiro was anticipating good weather because he expects as many audiences as possible to come, despite the fact of players are not so deeply concerned. Preparations are perfect by the audiences coming even on the rainy day. They understand that it is natural to watch Rugby anyway. We wish to have new watchers and more understanding to Rugby. From that, we wish to have good weather.

Clovers with much water after raining clump everywhere. Rabbit may be more than happy. And, Nijiro is very happy, too. He looks forward to find out “Good Luck” from many clovers on the field. It is troublesome to find it out from many clovers. But, it isn’t. Do you think that probability is higher by having are clovers. There are different answers depending on the way of grasping. It may be the same thing how to grasp the result of the matches by experiencing many matches at the tournament. No, not the same! Four leaves clover is the symbol of “Good Luck” because it is hard to get it. It is valuable for the action to look for enthusiastically.. By the way, Nijiro found it without fail! Fortunate time given the four leaves clover and players give everyone Good Luck.

Both two teams called Rugby Power made a line and a bow after the match is over. They did the greeting like usually done by domestic teams. It may be the original manner by mixing up with both team players. There is overseas culture respecting Japanese culture. Nobody enforced and it has been naturally done. It is suitable for the exchange games.

This is new ball which is used for this tournament. Depending on matches, many makers’ balls are used for each match but on this tournament only one kind of ball namely and shown “SANIX” is used. And, at the final match, a new ball was used. The final match is so important and special. New champion is so important and special. New champion is born with the new ball. It’s tensed up.

Soon after the final match started, cloud has been less and clear weather has been spread out along with match is proceeding. Although final match is on rainy condition, fine weather is better. In Japan, “Fine Weather” is used for greeting words. Those who were watching from the early morning feel a little cold, it may be OK for players to bear hot weather which was running last few days. The filed having much water could be slippery but it could prevent hot temperature.

A champion cup was presented to Glenwood High School, South Africa. The captain of the team hung up the cup. Smiles by players watching it and by manager, coacher and participants were there. It could be piled up so many times for the sake of this moment. A team participated in this tournament is by their High School and the overseas teams are not the national team. They are spending the same time for training with their colleague. It could be, therefore, great fun for the victory. Before the tournament started, national anthems were sung and the spirits are not less than national teams. Please go home with the pride as the 9th champion team. Besides the champion cup, the testimonial is by a traditional Japanese Culture, isn’t it? After receiving the testimonial, they are watching it without smiling. I felt that Nijiro with the same behavior was heartwarming. It is written words admiring your efforts for today−the final day.
