The 2019 Rugby World Cup kicked off in spectacular style on Friday night with an opening ceremony that paid homage to traditional Japanese culture. The ceremony at Tokyo Stadium marked the start of the first-ever Rugby World Cup to be held in Asia, and involved hundreds of performers representing aspects of Japanese culture from ancient folklore to kabuki. Crown Prince Akishino joined World Rugby Chairman Bill Beaumont in giving opening speeches before the game kicked off, with Japan eventually beating Russia 30-10. 📸: Dan Orlowitz dokool
