Kwagga's special message to Japanese fans

SPOTLIGHT: Springbok and BlueRevs loose forward has left a special message to his team’s supporters following their exit in the Japan Rugby League One title race.

The 31-year-old BlueRevs captain posted a special message on social media after his side went down to Kobe Steelers in the JRLO semifinal.

“It’s not the way we wanted it to end,” Smith said.

“Still, I’m so grateful for another season with the BlueRevs, a team that’s become like family.

“To our fans, thank you for showing up week after week, through the highs and lows. And to my teammates proud to have gone to battle with you all.”
