Baku Clover vs. Tokyo Gaijin

Dateline: 4th October,2009. It was a surprising turnout of players for the Tokyo Gaijin RFC with about 30 players showing up considering that 7 regular members couldn't make it. The weather had been kind and we were up against the bottom of the table Baku & Clover Club but even with the great turnout, it didn't seem to help with the performance.

A Close Shave: Gaijin vs. Tentou Mushi

It seems, as per usual protocol, that the Tokyo Gaijin played against 16 men, if you include the referee. It was a hard fought and tense game that eventually went the way of the Gaijin thanks to Matt scoring all the points and kicking a last play penalty to win the game.

Double Header Win

On the 6th of September the Tokyo Gaijin RFC (TGRFC) gathered in Akigase, near Nishi Urawa in Saitama for their first double-header in some time. A big squad of 34 guys answered the call to arms. First up was All Jin Jan, a strong team, and favorites to win the League. The Gaijin were keen for a measure of revenge as they had been demoted from Tokyo Cup 1st Division in the Spring season in a muddy 7v0 loss, while All Jin Jan had smashed Rocco East on the same day to gain promotion to 1st Division.

Bledisloe Cup Tokyo – October 31st, 2009

We just fielded a mail through our site from someone in Australia asking if we can purchase tickets to the Bledisloe Cup in Tokyo. This person did not want to go through a packaged tour company as they plan to stay on and see a few extra sights around Japan.

We said, yes, we CAN buy tickets for them. However, there is a catch.

The catch is that we would like 1) advanced payment and 2) for them to thank us (support us) by purchasing Rumble in the Rice Bowl T-shirts from our fund-raising site (one per ticket we buy, click here for more info on Rumble in the Rice Bowl).
