“What happened to the open attack Japan is supposed to be good at?” said coach of NZU, making it sound as if Japan was backsliding. Everyone concerned was in deep remorse. “It is true that we are now replacing old players with young ones, but our strategies are also completely up against the wall. When it comes to this, we should sacrifice a few years for team reconstruction: seeking and training new talents, as well as building new strategies and tactics only for Japan, with the target set in a few years…” said Hibino of the reinforcement committee.
Throughout this series, Japanese teams had a hard time with NZU's push in scrum, the major source of ball supply for the backs. It was well researched. NZU widened the gap with penalties, and utilised kick and rush, which Japan is not good at, in order to seal their today. When we look at this series as the world would view it, it proves that Japan, now a little stronger, needs more than the conventional strategies and tactics because countries with players of large build now view Japan differently.
