Brave Blossoms

[threemonkeys]

Watching RWC Tonga vs Japan, when I hear a name I know. Turns out a family member (a cousin's son) is playing for Japan. I know that there are a lot of Kiwis playing in Japan and they have a Kiwi coach, but I still find it very very weird.

I hasten to add that he certainly doesn't get the talent from our side of the family. Not that I'm surprised that he is good enough - his father played for Canterbury for many years and his sister is a Silver Fern.
