After the rugby club of Doshisha University declined to participate in the national university championship due to the infection of the new coronavirus, the Japan Rugby Union will not let another team participate in the competition and will compete in the tournament. I decided to make it a planned victory for Teikyo University.

Doshisha University's rugby club finished second in the Kansai League, and on the 13th of this month, it was supposed to face the third round of the university championship at Hanazono Rugby Stadium in Higashi-Osaka City, Osaka, but 13 members are new. I declined to participate because I was infected with the corona virus.



According to the rules of the tournament established by the Japan Rugby Union, if a participating team declines before the first match, the lower teams in the same league will be considered to advance to participate.



However, the association has forgotten to move forward and substitute for the target team, saying that "there is not enough preparation time".



As a result, Teikyo University, which was scheduled to play against Doshisha University in the third round, was decided to be a bye.
