A crowd of more than 15,000 people saw Wales’ training session for its Rugby World Cup at Japan.
Queues began building three hours up prior to the in Kitakyushu Stadium.
The local population and the Wales team have embraced, singing the Welsh national anthem and their first work was undertaken by the hymn Calon L??n since Warren Gatland’s squad out.
Wales’ opening match in Pool D is from Georgia on 23 September.
The Welsh Rugby Union has sent delegations to the Japanese community throughout the last 18 months, led by former Wales skipper Ryan Jones. They have been running training classes and building knowledge.
Rugby World Cup organisers said that the audience of 15,300 was the biggest ever in the Kitakyushu Stadium and Jones was overwhelmed:”I’ve never experienced anything like this in my own career. It’s astonishing and it has been very emotional.
“It has been such as hosting a celebration,” he said. “We got up this afternoon and we were saying’oh, I hope it goes well today and people will develop’. Then to find the temptations and then to find the players’ faces when they came out, it was just magic.
“It has exceeded our expectations. But what has really warmed my heart is the fact that it’s shown how the new Welsh rugby is. People know it’s usthey adore the colour red, but how powerful is.
“The dream was to turn the town reddish and we’ve done that. They weren’t a host city and we wanted to attract them the Rugby World Cup.
“It’s great since the men are one week out from our first game and also to have an experience like this make it home how beautiful an occasion it really is. It will give the gamers a massive lift.”
