Without their 22 road games, the Bambitious Nara would be in no position at this stage of the season to be vying for a playoff position.
The Bambitious, however, are 9-13 in away games. That has helped compensate for their 6-16 mark in home contests.
Nara (15-29) will look to end its six-game losing streak when it visits the host Osaka Evessa (30-14) this weekend.
