Japan beat Romania today. The YouTube video presents highlights and an interview with Michael Leitch. Kumamoto International readers may be particularly interested in Leitch’s multicultural background. Here’s a paragraph from the English-language Wikipedia article about him:
“Leitch was born in New Zealand to a New Zealand father and a Fijian mother, but moved to Japan at age 15 to study. He learnt the Japanese culture and language which he says he now speaks better than his native English and is considered well integrated to Japan. In 2008 he captained Japan at the Junior World Championship. He became a Japanese citizen in 2013.”
