Reigning champion Japan will host the 2012 Pacific Nations Cup, the International Rugby Board announced Thursday.
A year after the Japan Rugby Football Union was forced to relinquish all but one game of the 2011 competition as a result of the March 11 disaster, the IRB announced that five of this year's matches will take place in Japan, which will host the sport's flagship event--the Rugby World Cup--in 2019.
