Thank you very much to all the people who attended the Tokyo Gaijin Christmas Party and Awards Dinner for 2010. Also a big thank you to those that wanted to attend to show their support but were not able to do so for any manner of reasons. Also big thank yous to our sponsors Oakwood, helpers, family and friends for making it possible for us to play week in and week out.
A warm Winter's day provided the backdrop for a spectacular day of rugby and marked the end of the Shuto League season.
Dateline: 28th November, 2010
It was far from a great spectacle, but the Gaijin were able to hold on to a first half lead despite putting 13 new guys on the field for the second half of the friendly game against Shinjuku Jacks. The end score of 31-20 was appropriate with the Gaijin squandering several scoring opportunities, and a number of inexperienced players coming onto the field in the 2nd half, letting the Jacks back into the contest. A number of frontline players were able to rest for the Shuto League Select trials that were to follow.
Date: 14th of November
Although the Gaijin were guilty of playing a less attractive brand of rugby than they would like to, it was the most effective for the situation, and delivered them the victory they needed. The bonus point 31-17 win they achieved at the hands of Tentoumushi at the picturesque rugby stadium at Inagi is enough to take them to equal top of the Shuto League table with All Jin Jan. That game in early January against All Jin Jam will decide the location of the trophy for the year and will be sure to be a bruising encounter.
