So we played a company team called Secom at the weekend.
They were in the same position as us in having lost their previous games, so both teams were battling to keep out of the bottom two. The last two in the league have to play relegation matches against the top two in the league below us.
We played in the national stadium in Japan with the Secom fans on one side, and our supporters on the other side. Despite the relative emptiness of the stadium the noise and atmosphere were great. They don't do the Japanese baseball thing of making up chants for the players (there's SO MUCH downtime in baseball, I guess the fans have to keep themselves amused somehow) but they get behind the action nonetheless.
The game was played at a thousand miles per hour and there were a lot of mistakes, particularly towards the end.
I don't know how far I ran (no fancy GPS units for us) but it felt like I ran gauntlet as I came out somewhat bruised.
Knocked six bells out of a couple of people and won a few turnovers which isn't really a wingers job, but I scored a try which makes up for the lack of attacking I did all game. Kind of.
Next up is Shane Williams and Mitsubishi. I think that's another away game?
