I'm not very familiar with rugby, but I was invited to a World Cup-related event by a friend. When I entered the venue, I saw hardcore rugby fans, some wearing Japan team shirts. I felt a bit out of place at first, but the event had talks by famous rugby personalities and performances by comedians, which got everyone excited. After the events, there was a buffet-style standing party with a variety of filling dishes. By the end, I was completely full.
