Inclusion, respect the name of the game at Tokyo LGBT tournament by TarrantJack

The first match of the IGR’s International Inclusive Challenge Weekend saw World Barbarians RFC take on the Beijing Devils, with the game played less than 40 kilometres from where England beat Argentina at Tokyo Stadium in the Rugby World Cup. “Rugby brings unique camaraderie, something that you don’t get in any other sport inside the U.S.,” said Mark Jordan, a player from Minnesota.
Following a ceremony attended by Japan’s first lady Akie Abe, the JRFU became the fifth union to sign the memorandum with the IGR, which is partnered with World Rugby. “I would like to see more of the home unions really step up and say ‘we will back you up, we will be behind you’.
