On behalf of the Tokyo Gaijin RFC players, I would like to take the time to extend a big 'Thank you' to all our supporters who give up their precious free time to help us out. I am very lucky to be in a position where we have too many supporters to mention you all by name, but perhaps special thanks should go to our tireless managers, Ayako Number 1 and Ayako Number 2 and our medic, Shino Iwasaki. The amount of work put in by you and others off the field makes our job as players so much easier on the field. Without your support, there would be no team. You are as much a part of our club as any player and I would like you all to know that you are valued as such. To finish with a quote from our resident scribe, Richard Beard, when it comes to our supporters, "We need you more than you need us!"

Joe Fisher.
