The 55th and final name to be engraved onto the trophy for the Company Clubs Rugby Football Championship will be that of Suntory following its 38-25 victory over Toshiba Fuchu at Tokyo's National Stadium on Saturday.
The win, Suntory's third in the competition, not only ensures that it will be the team to beat when the new Top League starts up in September but was a fitting reward for the high-risk rugby that so epitomizes the Sungoliath's approach to rugby.
"I am very happy with the win," said head coach Masato Tsuchida. "Toshiba's defense was very strong but we just did enough to get the better of them. I think the substitutions we made changed the course of the game and allowed us to play the type of game we wanted."
