Lagerman, 28, a master of literary and military arts, has earned the long-awaited “medical school pass.” Fukuoka updated Twitter after the match. The title was “Report” and “I was able to successfully pass the Juntendo University School of Medicine! I think this challenge was achieved with the help of so many people. Do not forget this gratitude. I would like to take on a new challenge.” again. “

Just before the game, I confirmed the success of my first choice online. With less enthusiasm, the first round began. It really embodies “the head is cold and the heart is hot.” In the 23rd minute of the second half, which was received at 34-14, he bravely stepped forward, intercepted the opponent’s pass and ran just 30 meters. I decided on my first try this season and showed my white teeth. After the game, Coach Deans praised: “It is not unusual to play rugby while taking an exam. It shows that humans have no limits.” Captain Hooker Sakate from the same period also promised to support him, saying, “I want to win the TL (for the first time in five seasons) and send it in.”

After the XIX World Cup and the XX Olympics in Tokyo, he became a doctor. Although he had made that life plan, he abandoned the sevens system in June of last year due to the postponement of the Olympics. Behind this were the words of my respected dentist, Tsunajiro, “Choose the path you will regret no more.” I went my own way, attended medical school preparatory school three days a week in parallel with team practice, and worked hard to study for the exam for more than 6 hours a day. He will be retiring from active duty this season and will begin a new life as a medical student beginning this spring. As a professional gamer, he has set himself the “TL win” that he has yet to achieve as his next goal, and will continue to run the remaining games.[Yuki Minegishi]
