JAPAN RUGBY WORLD CUP TICKETS

About

The Japan national rugby union team, often known as the Cherry Blossoms, Sakura, and more recently The Brave Blossoms, they are traditionally the strongest rugby union power in Asia and has enjoyed and endured mixed results against non-Asian teams over the years. Rugby union in Japan is administered by the Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU). They compete annually in the Pacific Nations Cup and previously in the Asia Rugby Championship. They have also participated in every Rugby World Cup since the tournament began in 1987.

In the years between, Japan faced quality opposition, playing relatively well with solid results including a tie against France, and a narrow loss to Wales at Cardiff. Their second shock win was a 19–12 defeat of world number-two ranked Ireland in a 2019 Rugby World Cup pool game. Emerging undefeated from the tournament's pool stage after a 28–21 victory over Scotland, Japan made their first-ever World Cup quarter-final appearance, going down 3–26 to eventual world champions South Africa.

As the powerhouse of Asia, Japan will need to overcome the strongest European, Southern and Northern American teams to claim victory in Rugby's biggest event. Secure your tickets to the 2023 Rugby World Cup through The Ticket Merchant.
