■080502 Trial League 3rd Day
This is the final day of trial league. There are 4 teams on 4 pools of A, B, C, D.Depending on result of 3 matches per one team, match of tournament is fixed for starting tomorrow.Teams with similar force of teams match. This will be the best selection for both playing and watching. I think it will be the best selection for both playing and watching side. It is fine weather, too. It may be hot for players on the match but it is cool at the shade without humidity. IT is the best for watchers.
Host Team
Higashi Fukuoka High School is the team of the place where games are held. Other than players join as host member who support carrying a big board up and down steps, not steps but ladder, and creeping into the back of narrow score-board space.And, they update scores at the narrow place for about one hour. It was better for them on the cool day at the shade. That is the work for at the backside. It is the work that score panels are placed correctly form the other side i.e. field.It is natural, they say, but placing 14 is wrong with 41. Oh, no! Likely that, they will be panic. Don’t you think? At that stage, if the additional get is to be scored it may be troublesome in order to look for the panel of figure at the narrow space. Is it so easy?Nijiro nay be in trouble but he will be OK after some exercises. Starting time will be no confidence by him maybe.
“SAMURAI”
At this tournament, many “Samurai” participate. “Samurai” wear up-jersey, pants and stocking. These “Samurai” of 26 people are all St. Benedicts School Players form England.Side of pants shows something like Japanese “Rising Sun Flag”. Did they order for this tournament?Did you know it? In fact, there is product of namely “Samurai”. It designed the alphabets vertically form top to down. I was thinking there must not be in Japan.Is it possible to read out? Or, “Kanji” is important on its design rather than the meaning. Is there “NIJIRO”, too?
Thinking of Flowers
We can enjoy nature whenever are at Global Arena surrounded by fresh green. And, another major roles which assists these greens is flowers.Flower itself has a season to see, being different from the green. This time at Global Arena may be the best season surround by flowers. But, it cannot be the best for itself. And, the blossom will not be forever. This is because that the flowers are well looked after fondly everyday. Every effort is made even at season without flowers and matter of non-flowers.It may be the same with the team players are seen vivid at the time of match.They take care of flowers everyday continuously for the sake of full blossom at the season. Thank you for their efforts.
Japanese Way
There is the 2nd match today, when overseas team match with Japanese team. The first day was the first match.Because that Exchange Meeting was held the day before yesterday and also they watched matches of Japanese team, overseas teams were going to adjust manner with the Japanese way.Somehow they line-up and bow with folding arms over shoulder each other. This style is by Japanese way at many occasions. And, after the match is over, this style are seen many times but St. Benedick School players made it at the greeting before match started. Yes, they are “Samurai”. On the reverse, Japanese team accepted the spiritual ceremony by all not by 26 plays only.They respect each other. Young people are great. It cannot be explained by words. It is born by the sports exchange. Be adult as it is, not without losing and without putting into closet.
Supporter
All the matches are on the grass field. Some of the overseas teams can play only on the grass field. They never doubt that Rugby must be on the grass field.Many home team players feel how Lucky they play on the natural grass field.As such, there is much difference on the environment for the Rugby between home field and overseas advanced nations fields. It is, therefore, natural on responding to the shoestring ball. It is also natural of differences between those who overcome fear against jumping to ball and those who has never such a feeling.The final match was favorite Australian St. Edmunds College vs. Onomichi High School.Those who finished overseas players watched it.On that match, overseas players yell as supporters for the Onomochi High School. Those who finished overseas players watched it.They are admired for their remarkable plays. Not only on that match, attitude by overseas players who are watching the match make very good atmosphere by showing proud of loving Rugby as same colleague.Would you like watching Rugby by admiring opponent’ brave plays besides, of course, supporting own school’s players.This match was great and thank you!
Nijiro
There was good weather without rain from the opening.Until today, there were 2 fields of Stadium and Track & Field but on the 2 days for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow match is not be Stadium. 8 teams, which are half of all participants, can plays on the final day the Stadium.Much water was spattered on the field for the tournament match tomorrow. It is said that grass grows by one night if appropriate temperature and enough water.Players can do the best performance by many ground supporters who look after at the behind-the-scenes. Even on the way of spattering water, it may be done evenly with much water.Hurray grass! I helped water spattering but Nijiro who sent “Ki” could disturb. Is it effective?
