Elementary school students in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture, were selected for “Masscott Kids” to enter with the players in the final of the Rugby World Cup.
The final of the Rugby World Cup Japan Tournament, England vs. South Africa, will be held on the 2nd at the Yokohama International Stadium.
In the final round, “Mascot Kids” who entered with the players was chosen as the 4th grader, Ono, who belongs to the rugby club in Kamaishi City and the junior team in Kamaishi Seawaves.
Ono was scheduled to serve as a mascot kid in the Namibia-Canada match that was scheduled at the Kamaishi Satoshi Reconstruction Stadium, but was canceled due to the impact of Typhoon # 19.
At one point, I was shocked to think about quitting rugby that I had been in since I was in elementary school, but I decided to enter with South African players in the final, and now I'll learn the South African national anthem. It means that.
Mr. Ono said, “I was very sad because Kamaishi suffered from the Great East Japan Earthquake was damaged again by the typhoon and the game was cancelled. But I was very happy because I was able to enter in the final. I want to enter. "
