おめでとう ブレイブブロッサムズ, Japan in the top 10!

Historic result for the Brave Blossoms after a 10 games streak

The Japanese team enters for the first time in the history of IRB rankings in the top 10 taking Fiji's place after the first win against Italy.
People may argue that IRB rankings not always reflect the values on the pitch, because they reward teams who plays more games, but at least a uniform system gives the possibility to compare apples with apples, and in this case the blossoms are shining.
A good omen for the host of 2019 RWC, the first non traditional white, stale and pale nation to organise the biggest event in the oval world.
