The Rugby World Cup - 7th October 2019

The Rugby World Cup is in Japan. Visitors are coming from around the world.

Fans can watch the games in 16 Fanzones. The Fanzones are inside because there are typhoons in Japan at this time of year. Lots of Japanese fans are using the Fanzones too. This is because Japan is winning its games. In Tokyo the Fanzone building has 3 levels. But there are rules you have to follow to enjoy the matches.

Outside the building, there are signs for people waiting to get in. And lots of signs inside too. Smoking is not allowed. You can only drink alcohol on the first floor. There is no alcohol on the second floor so families and children can enjoy the games.

Woman: "In Japan everyone's a lot more orderly. It's not so chaotic, like Melbourne."

Man: "Everyone's good sports here, in Australia, everyone would be standing up - jumping up and down the whole time. Here everyone's very polite, the Japanese people are still clapping for Ireland scores. They're very nice and respectful people, we're really enjoying ourselves. So, yeah."

Recycling is very important at the Fanzone. Signs help visitors put things in the right bin. Lots of people help fans recycle well.
