World Rugby is expected to recognize Japan as the first “powerhouse country” in Asia.
A new “High Performance Union” will be established, with 11 countries including Japan being considered for designation, in addition to the existing 10 powerhouse countries.
Until now, the 10 powerhouse countries have been the main decision-makers on important issues such as the World Cup format and international game schedules, but changing the hierarchy system will increase Japan’s international influence.
The number of Japanese World Rugby board members will increase from the current two to three, and it is expected to have a positive impact on regular representative matches and the promotion of the sport.
