Second week of training for Kawagichi with no OD pop but again I had an ID pop this time on the Skinkansen. Surely at age 21, 6'3" with a level 6 trainer next week Kawagichi will finally get the pop. I have to confess he only got 46 minutes last week. Stupid coach subbed him out for no reason. Still the Skinkansen with 11/8 OD/ID at age 19 is fairly exciting. I think he can be a real U21 stopper assuming he stays healthy & I keep on defence training.

Yeah...he will pop next week. Thanks for sticking with it...and the shinkansen is getting really good...In 3 weeks(next week Iran, week after New Zealand) we will have a scrimmage. In that scrimmage I will only play 19,20 yr olds. So you will get to see him ball.

Pretty happy with the way Matsumoto's training's going. I have to get him to a stage where he can make the NT at some point.

For sure, I already have him penciled in as a future NT player.

Thanks Yellow cake, I have been amazed by his progress, but maybe it is because this is the first time for ages I havent been spending most of my time training 1 on 1.

Matsumoto wont just make the team he should become the best player on it. Just don't do what some owners did and pump the primaries and ignore the secondaries or his salary will be bigger than his value.

Unlike now when if one of our guys is injured or in bad shape we lose.

OK..back to business....We play 19th ranked Iran tonight....I am hoping for an upset but would love to keep PD down. The first round pool will climax with New Zealand next Monday...I am hoping for at least a 3-3 with a + PD...but I like our chances for an upset tonight....Go Nippon!!

Ugh. Well, I am just thankful that NT/U21 games don't impact regular games!!!
