Rugby-Injured Lemeki withdraws from Japan's November tour

Nov 16 (Reuters) - Winger Lomano Lemeki has pulled out of Japan's squad for their remaining internationals in November with an unspecified injury, Kyodo reported on Wednesday. Lemeki scored two tries in Japan's 28-22 victory over Georgia in Tbilisi last weekend and will miss matches against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday and against Fiji in France on Nov. 26. The 27-year-old, who was born in Auckland and moved to Japan in 2009, won his first test cap in Japan's 54-20 defeat by Argentina on Nov. 5, where he scored on his debut.
