Furious Japan seeks apology after 'no basis' found for chairman's Asia Rugby ban

Furious Japanese rugby leaders are calling on "reckless" Asian Rugby to issue an apology after an independent review found no justification in suspending Japan Rugby Football Union chairman Kensuke Iwabuchi. Earlier this year, World Rugby was tasked with investigating when Asia Rugby suspended Iwabuchi from its executive committee following a potential code of conduct violation. The review cleared Iwabuchi of wrongdoing but urged Asia Rugby to reinstate him.
