In response to the state of emergency being declared for 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, the Japan Rugby Union examined the management method for the major tournaments scheduled and made a concrete policy on the 8th. I will explain it.
In rugby, which is entering the full-scale season, the final of the national university championship is scheduled to be held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on the 11th of this month, and the top league will start from the 16th.
Of these, about 17,000 tickets were sold for the National University Championship finals late last month before the country restricted the holding of tens of thousands of people.
Tickets for the Top League have also begun to be sold in some games such as the opening round.
The Japan Rugby Union has begun to consider how to manage such a tournament and the activities of the Japanese national team in response to the declaration of an emergency for 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures in the Tokyo metropolitan area on the 7th. I will open it and explain the concrete policy.
