I have enjoyed watching the Japanese side & reading some of the press it has started a big rethink of how their game should be played by some people in that sport. I have experience of playing in Japan in the 1970s & agree that they because of their size (discounting overseas imports) they would be better suited to League. But there lies the problem, they have a long tradition of playing Union that goes deep into their corporate structure & those at the top are fiercely protective of the sport switching codes there is tantamount to treason & can ruin your career prospects. It makes unions campaign against our sport over the last century look like a lovers tiff. You would have to start getting youngsters who have not been involved with Union to play.
