It's called investment. Japan has 127 million people, is the world's third largest economy and has sheds lots of new Rugby fans. The country is going to bring a lot of revenue to Rugby.
Some talk of European Rugby offering Japan a spot in the Six Nations if SANZAAR turns up its nose.
@sparky same talk of SA joining or just a bunch of nobodies saying they should let them in?
Will they kick Italy?
Georgia should be next cab off the rank.
Or they going to expand it right up to 7 or 8?

Happy with Japan in RC, just not SW in SR. But you'd have to have less games, not one each home/away, if Japan joined with more rest weeks with the travel in the RC. Have to be alternating home/away like 6N - not a problem, and one extra Bledisloe

Who’s talking about offering them a spot in the 6 n?

@Machpants having a Japanese side in super rugby is fine, so long as it is backed by Rugby Japan and it gets thier top players rather than the SW who were basically the red-headed step-child.
I think invite Japan and Fiji and then go home/away on alternate years, same format as 6N.

@taniwharugby Yeah happy with that too, but JRU are at fault, the way they didn;t do anything for SW, not SANZAAR

@jegga This Ugo Moyne piece has created discussions. Nothing formal yet but don't write it off entirely.

So an opinion piece in the Guardian? No one in 6n management?

@jegga Like I said nothing formal yet. But what Ugo is writing for the Guardian, his RFU friends are thinking about.

I doubt that . They’d take South Africa before Japan
UK government are very keen on closer links to Japan at the moment. Part of their Global Britain, post-EU strategy.
Not saying it is definitely going to happen. But if SANZAAR make life hard for Japan, they will take their yen and millions of new Rugby fans elsewhere.

Never going to happen.

Japan are in the wrong time zone for the 6 Nations.
Games playing in the middle of the night don't attract viewers.
