TOKYO - Canada’s players helped the local community in Kamaishi recover from Typhoon Hagibis on Sunday after their final Rugby World Cup match against Namibia was canceled due to the impact of the storm.
Some of the Canadian players have decided to stay on in Japan despite their team going out of the tournament.“There’s a bunch of Canadian guys that have rented a house here, made it a ‘Canada House’, so we’ll do whatever we can to help. World Cup organizers chose to hold two matches in the remote town of Kamaishi in a bid to aid the region’s recovery after it was devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
