Land of the Rucking Sun keep pace with league leaders Pets Gone Wild with a convincing win over fellow league hopefuls Ne'erdowells.

The win compounds a rotten run of form for the Ne'erdowells, despite their second half heroics. Two drop goals before half-time proved a tactical masterclass by the Cherry Blossoms, who never looked in doubt with a constant lead of over 6 points.

Tries from S. Takamori and M. Miyamoto showcased Land of the Rucking Sun's ultimate quality, although Mothra's try for the Ne'erdowells displayed the forward prowess that the club has been known for this season.

"Two drop goals? You have got to be kidding me. We got criticised all season for doing that, but when the league darlings do them nobody bats an eyelid. We were by far the better team at playing rugby, and I have no worries that if we play that way next week against some trash tier opponents we will still make the play-offs".
