People walk past a banner promoting the upcoming Japan 2019 Rugby World Cup in Kobe on September 17, 2019.Japan are learning to live with the pressure of being World Cup hosts as they prepare for their tournament curtain raiser against Russia this week, flanker Pieter Labuschagne said Tuesday.
“We’ve been working a really long time towards the World Cup and it’s going to be a special event,” said the Pretoria-born Labuschagne. “It’s a World Cup: England, New Zealand, South Africa — they will all be feeling it. Obviously it’s how we react that counts.” “It’s going to be a physical battle against Russia. They’re a good team and it’s about absorbing their pressure and trying to apply some of our own.”
“I don’t take Russia lightly — they’re as big as South Africa, so we will have to show them the same respect.”
