Im assuming 'full Japanese heritage' means players who were born there.It would be interesting see how they would've gone with 8/8 players in pack with full Japanese heritage.
At least then u have the next Super Rugby season to celebrate victories. Ohhhh, u are a Rebels supporter, I forgot it. Sorry for that.

It would be interesting to see how many countries in the worlds were to go if they were only able to select 'full heritage' players.Italy, Wales, Scotland, Australia and Japan all have between 9 and 12 foreign born players in their squads.
Glass houses and all that.....
Much as I'm happy to see the Reds get a player of his calibre, this calls into question the existence of Japan's team in the competition.Japanese fullback Ayumu Goromaru apparently been targeted as a replacement for James O'Connor. I was already under the impression he had signed with the Sunwolves.

It'd be a real shame as Goromaru would probably be the most recognisable player in Japan after the world cup. The SunWolves need players like him, not just to be competitive, but to draw crowds and media interest etc.
[EDIT: Isn't he FB? Tick.] So he fills a slot we don't really need filling.
Depends on whether Reds coaching sees Hunt as a 15 or center
