Rugby is all about brotherhood,
teamwork, not only on the field, off the field.
It's like a family away from home.
I'm Lote Tuqiri. I'm from Fiji.
I'm playing professional rugby here in Japan for Kobelco S.
It's one of the top league clubs in Japan.
As a kid I always watched big cities around the world on TV.
From there on I was like,
"One day I want to visit those big cities."
I think rugby is the passport for me
to travel around the world.
In the gym we have, like, upper body sessions
and lower body sessions on two different days
because in rugby you have to train your whole body.
You cannot just train the upper body
and then you forget about your lower body.
In rugby it's...an all-rounder.
To me, Japan is like my home now.
And to play for Japan in Rio was like
giving back to Japan all the things they've done for you.
The Rio Olympics were my first Olympics ever.
Favourites, France.
They've met 21 times in the Rugby World Series
with France winning 15 of them.
France get the first try of the quarter-final.
What an opportunity this is now, for Japan
and he crashes through, and it's Lote Tuqiri.
In Rio, the whistle goes for the end of the match.
The French are crestfallen.
The Japanese, they can't believe it!
Rio was on another level.
Anybody can play rugby.
Even when you're big or you're chubby or you're skinny,
you can still play rugby.
You can find a position that suits you.
Rugby is all about family, brotherhood, teamwork.
It's not an individual sport.
You work together and you communicate
not only on the field but also off the field.
It's like a family away from home.
After a long day of training I just look forward to
coming home and seeing her.
When I come home she's always happy
to welcome me in front of the door
and it is nice to feel.
My daughter, when she grows up,
I want her to grow up two different cultures -
Japanese culture and Fijian culture.
Rugby is a contact sport.
You shouldn't be afraid.
In every training, there's always a translator.
Coach is talking in English, there's a translator,
translating in Japanese.
When it's another coach who's Japanese,
he's speaking in Japanese,
the translator is translating in English.
I really want to go and represent Japan again
in the 2020 Olympics.
All this just depends on my body.
When you come off the field, the guy you tackled hard,
is mates again. Good friends. You laugh about it.
We just love smashing each other.
Happiness is being around loved ones, family and friends
and just enjoying each other's company.
And playing rugby, playing in Kobe,
I enjoy every moment of it.
