日本橄榄球队教练埃迪·琼斯周二表示，2027年橄榄球世界杯的赛程为小球队提供了‘公平’的机会来爆冷击败这项运动的强国。本次在澳大利亚举行的赛事将首次有24支球队参赛，所有球队比赛间隙大约一周。
日本国家橄榄球队‘勇敢之花’的主教练埃迪·琼斯对刚刚公布的2027年橄榄球世界杯赛程表示支持。组织者公布了在澳大利亚举行的赛事赛程表，这是首次有24支球队参赛，每支球队比赛之间分配大约一周时间。 周二，琼斯表示，该赛程‘为小球队提供了“公平”的机会来击败这项运动的大佬’，他希望日本再次制造冷门。‘勇敢之花’被分在与法国、萨摩亚和美国同组。 琼斯曾在2015年世界杯带领日本惊人击败南非，但随后球队只有四天准备时间对阵苏格兰，并输掉了比赛。从那次经历出发，他强调即将到来的赛事中延长休息期如何惠及弱队。这一调整旨在提升国际橄榄球的公平性和竞争力。
