Wikipedia - Black Rams Tokyo
Black Rams Tokyo (formerly Ricoh Black Rams) is a Japanese rugby union team in the Japan Rugby League One. Being ranked tenth meant that, in order to continue in the league, it had to defeat one of the top regional clubs in a play-off, which it achieved.
Slogan for 2006 season: TAFU ("Tough" in English). The acronym stands for Team, Aggression, Faith, Unity.
In January 2008 it was announced that Stephen Larkham will be joining the team next season, but the team was relegated back to the Japan East League where Larkham will begin his career in Japan. In April 2008 Todd Louden was announced as head coach, to be assisted by Pote Human (Daily Yomiuri, April 26, 2008).
The team rebranded as Black Rams Tokyo following the rebranding of the Top League to the Japan Rugby League One ahead of 2022.
The team plays in the Top League, the highest level of rugby union in Japan. The team's home ground is the Prince Chichibu Memorial Rugby Ground, which has a capacity of 27,188 spectators.
The team's colors are black and red, and their logo features a ram's head. The team's mascot is a black ram named "Rico".
The Ricoh Black Rams have a strong history of success, having won the Top League championship in 2003 and 2010. The team has also produced several notable players, including former All Black fly-half Andrew Mehrtens and former Japan national team captain Takashi Kikutani.
The team is known for their fast-paced, attacking style of rugby, and their ability to score tries from anywhere on the field. They have a strong fan base in Japan and are considered one of the top teams in the country.
