If the Suntory Sungoliath have largely won against the Toyota Verblitz, their winger Shogo Nakano has already offered us the biggest failure of the year 2022.
This Saturday, the Suntory Sungoliath welcomed the Toyota Verblitz, as part of of the 1st day of League One. Already winners of the Toshiba Brave Lupus last weekend (60-46), the teammates of Damian McKenzie did it again, winning by a wide margin (50-8). Sean McMahon went there with his double, bringing his total to five goals in two games, and D-MAC scored its first try at Japan. Yes, but here it is, one of the highlights of the match will remain this incredible failure of the Sungoliath winger, Shogo Nakano. While he is going to quietly flatten, he slows down, and slowly collapses into the opposing goal. Yes but now, by dint of waiting, Nakano was surprised by the return of the back visitor, the Japanese international Will Tupou. The latter pushes it away and therefore prevents the ball from coming into contact with the ground! Luckily for Nakano, the action will bounce back and Ozaki will go queen. Oh dear. ..oh dear! 😬@sungoliath blushes were spared though (just) as they made it two from two in @LeagueOne_JP! pic.twitter.com/rVkYanaxYF — World Rugby ( @WorldRugby) January 17, 2022 Despite this failure, the Sungoliaths achieved convincing success and clearly displayed their ambitions. They surely act as favorites in the title.Here is the summary of the match:
