Rugby Corona Outbreak Tenri University 5th consecutive victory in the first match November 7, 19:51
The Tenri University rugby club, which had been inactive for about a month due to an outbreak of the new coronavirus in August, faced the first match of the Kansai University League and won 64-0 to win the fifth straight title. We got off to a good start.
In August, 62 members of the Tenri University rugby club were infected with the new coronavirus, so activities were suspended for about a month and the summer training camp was canceled, which had a great impact on team building.
Even so, after taking measures against infection such as reducing the number of people per room in the dormitory and resuming practice in early September, we continued to make adjustments at a rapid pace toward the opening game of the league, which was held in Tenri City, Nara Prefecture on the 7th. I played against Setsunan University in the first match.
In the 2nd minute of the first half of Tenri University, game captain Fifita picked up a kick behind the opponent's defense team and gave the first try, and after that the strong forward showed power and led the first half to 19-0. I turned it back.
In the second half, he showed strength even in Scrum, which was worried about lack of adjustment due to the suspension of activities, and took a total of 10 tries and won 64-0.
Fifita said, "I consciously played the game so that I could enter the game in a good way. I am grateful that the cluster occurred in August and I was able to stand here with the support of various people." I was talking.
