Japan women

Profile

The Japanese women have had particularly good success in international competition. For the last Worlds in Heilbronn 2000, Japan took home the silver, defeating Finland 15-9 in the semifinal before bowing out to Canada 15-8 in the finals. 

For club worlds in Hawaii 2002, the Japanese sent four club teams (MUD, Spirals, Barbarians and Naughty Kids) and all four posted good results. Despite splitting up the talent, MUD finished 8th overall, second-best from non-Americans. MUD even upset Prime 16-10 at Worlds that year and Prime is here representing Canada.

This year's team is combined from club squads MUD, Spirals, Huck and CUJC and has several players who have finished last at Worlds and second at Worlds, twice. You can expect they will be more like the latter. They are seeded second.
