Welcome to this encounter between Toyota Verblitz and NTT Docomo Red Hurricanes here at Egao Kenko Stadium! Verblitz have won six of their seven matches in the Top League, making them the fourth most successful side this season. Docomo unfortunately have only won four of their seven matches and find themselves a little lower on the White Conference log than what Verblitz find themselves in the Red Conference. This game could shake things up though for Verblitz though as the table is no longer important but rather a simple win will suffice!
