【ラグビー日本代表、夏の陣。】元日本代表主将・菊谷崇×ラグビーライター・吉田宏

Ryunosuke Ito, currently a fourth-year university student, has steadily progressed through the ranks of the youth national team, U23, and JTS. He played as a member of JAPAN XV against the Maori All Blacks, making a remarkable contribution as a starting fly-half, frequently creating scoring opportunities. While he's being hailed as a "star in the making," many also point out his youth and lack of experience. This time, we welcomed veteran rugby watcher and insightful article writer Hiroshi Yoshida to discuss Ryunosuke Ito's current position, future potential, expectations on the international stage, and how it relates to university rugby. Is Ryunosuke Ito truly worthy of carrying the future of Japanese rugby? Watch this as preparation for the upcoming Nations Championship. #A Little More Rugby #Rugby Talk #Takashi Kikutani #Former Japan Rugby Player #Captain of the Japan Rugby World Cup 2011 #Hiroshi Yoshida #Ryunosuke Ito #Kotaro Ito #Ryota Hattori #Marcus Smith #Nations Championship Music: Ichigen-izuru- (Jun Kajiwara & Akira Sekine) https://www.junkajiwara.com http://akirasekine.com [This Article] A Rising Star in the Rugby Japan National Team's "Number 10" Competition: One Year Until the World Cup… A Meiji University 4th Year Student Follows Eddie Jones' Words https://the-ans.jp/column/699979/ [Hiroshi Yoshida Profile] He has been in charge of rugby for Sankei Sports since 1995, and has continued to publish rugby information 365 days a year for over 20 years, including the time when he was the only reporter in charge. As a field reporter, I covered two historic upsets: Japan's victory over Brazil in soccer at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and their win against South Africa in the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Since April 2019, I have continued my coverage as a freelance rugby writer. Leveraging the network and information I cultivated during my long tenure as a reporter, I have scooped news about past Japanese national team coaching appointments, including Shogo Mukai, John Kirwan, and Eddie Jones. I have covered seven consecutive Rugby World Cups: 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and 2023.
