The Japanese Super Rugby Mascot Will Haunt All Of Your Nightmares

Rugby is gaining momentum in Japan. The fantastic victory for the Blossoms over South Africa in the World Cup just sped up the process. Now that they've got a Super Rugby team, and their star player earned a big move to the Queensland Reds.

It's fair to say that rugby has never seen fans like the Japanese.

To celebrate the Sunwolves first game of Super Rugby against the Lions tomorrow morning, they've unveiled their mascot Pinging.

I don't know about you, but Pinging is absolutely terrifying...
