KAMAISHI, Japan -- Emotions ran high on Wednesday in the small city of Kamaishi in northeastern Japan, a town devastated by the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck in March 2011. Eight years later, about 14,000 fans jammed a new stadium to watch Fiji battle Uruguay at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
The match was the fruition of years of planning by the city, which just months after the disaster kicked off a campaign to host some of the tournament's matches.
