The Japan National Team is essentially a "Pacific Team"...maybe they should be incorporated into the Super 15 to re-invigorate the concept? For home games, call the franchise the "Brave Blossoms" (keeps the Japanese fans happy), for away games: the "Pacific Islanders"...

Fantastic performance by the Japanese team: Japan 21 (Shaun Webb 2 tries; James Arlidge 2 penalties; Ryan Nicholas penalty, conversion),

IRB rules just need 3 years residency. the team is a Japanese team not a team of Japanese.
