Japan National Rugby Union Team - Rugby World Cup

Rugby World Cup

Japan has participated in the Rugby World Cup since its inception in 1987, and has made appearances in all tournaments thus far. Despite this, they have experienced little success, with just one victory over Zimbabwe in 1991, and two draws with Canada in 2007 and 2011. They will be the home team for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, which is to be held in Japan.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cup:

    “Thus were we weaned to knowledge of the Will
    That wills the natural world but wills us dead.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
