    Every Japanese person I've talked to about this is either mad at Kashiwa or thinks they won't get their value.

    Well done to the All Blacks though! It'd take about a million dollars for me to spend a week in that shit hole.

      Oh, if it were!

      The good news for the ABs though is that if they walk up the road from Roppongi to Nogizaka, they could take one train out to Kashiwa.

      Sneak out for the last train, party in RPG or Nishi Azabu all night, then catch the first train back before Shag gets out of bed. Perfect WC preparation.

        @gt12 I'll be at Lake Kawaguchi for that week, so I'll probably miss having breakfast with them.

          World Cups are usually won by the team with the best 1-10 on the park with very solid team defence. But each World Cup winner has had at least one game-breaker.

          1987 New Zealand: John Kirwan and John Gallagher
          1991 Australia: David Campese.
          1995 South Africa: Andre Joubert
          1999 Australia: Stephen Larkham
          2003 England: Jason Robinson
          2007 South Africa: Bryan Habana
          2011 New Zealand: Israel Dagg
          2015 New Zealand: Nehe Milner Skudder, SBW and Beauden Barrett.

            On tour anywhere from 9 September to 2 November anywhere seems sub optimal for playing the best rugby possible at the pointy end of the tournament.

              Maybe Izzy and CJ could go over and organise the tour?

                    @Chris I'm always confused by why they always put up photos of Ricky Jerret and not Lima.

                                He's in Ballers, starring alongside Dwayne Johnson. That's pretty up there in terms of stardom.

                                As an aside, I wonder how many other Dwayne Johnson's are dotted around Wainui/Upper Hutt?

                                      Apparently the World Cup Committee hasn't been to Japan. It's not going to be an issue.
