Rugby World Cup Japan city guide - Oita
By RugbyPass
The next stop on our Rugby World Cup guide is the prefecture of Oita on the southern island of Kyushu.
Jaybor experiences a sand bath in the town of Beppu and pays a visit to the famous City Spa Onsen with stunning views over the city.
We stop off for a feed in a traditional izakaya, which is a local Japanese pub that serves cheap food and great beer, before heading onto the 42k seater Oita stadium.
Oita will play host to two quarter-finals as well as three group stage matches involving New Zealand, Australia, Wales and Fiji.

I do in that sense yes. I just think when it gets to 'don't stand out, toe the line', team first becomes a poor excuse for anti-individualism. If this 10 feels aggrieved and believes in himself, he should have the right to say it and put his money where his mouth is. That said, you can't fault Galthie's response. Very gallant gallic insouciance. ( I too live in France) :)
Go to commentsHe was Defence coach with Castres when they won the French Championship and they had the best defence in the competition so he does have credibility, he also has coached Oyonnax with limited resources to beat teams in the top 14 with much bigger budgets so the idea that he has no credibility is ignorant and incorrect, whether he will turn out to be a success is something that nobody knows however the RFU didn't just just say to Borthwick pick your friend, he had been on their radar for at least 5 years or more.
