Japanese in line for club stint

TWO Japanese players may fill the import spots created for the Brisbane and Gold Coast sides that will play in the new national competition from next year.

The Queensland Rugby Union is eager to formalise a link with Japanese rugby, and the national competition may serve as a perfect vehicle for both parties.

A delegation from the Japan Rugby Football Union's high-performance unit that inspected facilities at Ballymore last week revealed plans to train-up a group of emerging players in Australia and New Zealand.

Japan wants to send 10 players abroad as part of a long-term plan to make the 2011 World Cup quarter-finals.

"The Japanese players would come out, advance their play at the Reds Academy and play for a club side," Reds coach Eddie Jones said.
