Rugby Scotland National Team Visiting an Elementary School in a Heavy Rain Area September 9th 18:04
Scotland national team players who will be playing against the Japanese national team at the Rugby World Cup starting this month will be encouraged to visit an elementary school in Maki-cho, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, which was severely damaged by heavy rain last year during the tournament. I understood from the interview.
Scotland is one of the oldest Europeans in Europe that Japan lost the last four years in the World Cup, and will face Japan in the 4th round of the first league in the Japan tournament that will open on the 20th of this month.
According to interviews with officials, it was found that on this 27th of the month during the tournament, several Scottish players and coaches are planning to visit Maki-cho, Kurashiki city, a disaster area affected by the heavy rain in western Japan.
Players were damaged by flooding, visited Kawabe Elementary School, Iwata Elementary School, etc., who are still teaching in the temporary school building, and took the string on the waist instead of the tackle with the children, etc. And interacting.
This visit is that the Scottish national team, which was called by a volunteer group that supports the activities in Manbi-cho, agreed with the fact that they are planning a game with Samoa in nearby Kobe on the 30th of this month.
Takuro Honda, the principal of Kawabe Elementary School, visited us, saying, “I think the children affected by the disaster will be encouraged. I want you to see a big player up close and enjoy rugby.”
