Rugby Today: Derby Weekend Pressure Test

After just one round of Japan Rugby League One play, expectations already have been flipped on their head.

Defending champion Toshiba Brave Lupus Tokyo was stunned in its opener, shut out 46-0 by the Saitama Wild Knights. 

The loss alone raised eyebrows, but the scoreline made it a shock—especially with a Brave Lupus roster that looks nearly identical to last season’s title-winning side and no major stars missing.

One week in, the Wild Knights sit at the top, with Brave Lupus at the bottom, and the table suddenly is wide open.
