Every spring, Tokyo transforms under the cherry blossoms — and this year, the All France Rugby Club gathered once again to celebrate hanami together.
Players, friends, supporters, and newcomers spent the day sharing food, drinks, rugby stories, and good moments beneath the sakura trees. Some came straight from training, others simply joined for the atmosphere, but everyone contributed to what makes the club special: community.
Beyond rugby itself, these gatherings are an important part of the club’s identity. They are moments where people from different backgrounds, nationalities, and experiences come together around shared values of conviviality and friendship.
From casual conversations to improvised rugby debates and plenty of laughter, the afternoon perfectly captured the spirit of spring in Japan — relaxed, festive, and collective.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s hanami. 🌸🏉🇫🇷🇯🇵
