Exclusive interview with Saitama Wild Knights player Rikiya Matsuda, a candidate for the Japan national rugby team. He talked about his enthusiasm for the League One playoff final on May 20, and his goals for the Rugby World Cup in Paris, which will start in September this year. Born in 1994, Matsuda is of the same generation as Shohei Otani. He told us how he was inspired by Mr. Otani, and also revealed an unexpected side of him, “I’m afraid of ghosts.” Kokoro Kunametani, an announcer of Nippon Television, who takes pride in being a rugby fan, approached Matsuda’s true intentions.
