Rugby: Ace kicker Kolbe is top-scorer in Japan’s League One

# Rugby: Springbok wing Chester Kolbe has ended as the top-scorer in Japan’s League One competition after a brilliant season. His 185 points included nine tries, but the rest came from the kicking tee. That took his total for his club, Tokyo Sungoliath, to 271 in 30 matches, and he can improve on that tally after they’ve reached the final. Kolbe’s prowess with the boot is said to be good news for the Boks, for whom he can provide kicking back-up during a challenging season.
