Went for a ride, came back to see Japan draw level with RSA 😯
That's the last time I listen to STW about the likely game quality 🙂
COME ON JAPAN!!!!!!
😀
HONTO NE!!!!!!
GO Japan
How good has this been!
Wow, thought theyd have taken 3 point for a draw!
😀
superb
Much prefered watching that game over the England one
WTF
Oh my God
Wow!
Sayonara, baby!!!
Whoa!
Well I think the World Cup just began. 8) Epic game.
Yes, yes, yes!
Brilliant result for the whole tournament and the whole game!
Amazing stuff.
What a game 😀
I'm glad I watched that, I was going to give it a miss expecting a routine win for SA. Totally gripping stuff.
Just got back from a ride. Brilliant stuff i love japan xx
What that has done is pushed SA towards England's potential QF draw, if they finally get their s@@t together.
That group is WIDE open.
I'm just back from Japan, and heading back there next Thursday. I feel some of my Japanese whiskey coming out tonight.
That group is WIDE open.
Yeah, now more than a touch worried about how Scotland will get on.
It was so refreshing to watch a team that can pass the ball about, not get 'white line fever' and actually convert under pressure. If that was Scotland I would of been wishing for them to take the 3 points at the end. Going for a win would almost certainly ended in tears.
Well, it might be unsporting, but I'm so happy Japan only have four days to recover before they play us.
Putting 30 odd points on SA is an achievement in itself... but to win in that manner with no fear of playing running rugby even in added time... amazing!
What a way to win too! So calm and clinical in injury time. Great try too!
Holy crap, the scots should be absolutely petrified!!!!!
Very well played Japan, looks tougher still for Scotland
This is getting stupid now!
Fantastic.
Even if they didn't win - they will be know for not taking the penalty option.
But they did win! KFC Bargain Buckets all round!

Samoa for me. Keen on the canadians too.
Poor Canucks - had a bit of lesson today. 🙁
I expect Scotland to comfortably beat Japan. A 4 day turnaround, plus there is NO chance Scotland will now be as complacent as the boks.
Chances are SA will still top the group if they beat Scotland, which is certainly now in the balance. This game today as made this WC already for me.

Very good CFH. 😀
Super Gavin Henson ?@UnrealGavHenson
Amazing stuff! Not seen the Japanese cause such a big upset since Big Gav ate that gone-off sushi! #RWC2015
On my way back from the match now. That was unbelievable! Turned up expecting a drubbing, witnessed sporting history. The atmosphere was electric, Springbok fans were really sporting in defeat too, great event!
South African friend posting this on Facebook, I replied at half time with "Her majesty has called the Japanese to say she is not amused", in my wildest dreams I didn't think they'd close it out.

Unfortunately did not see the game but will find a re-run. What an outstanding result.
@dave, yes indeed Rugby history made in Brighton of all,places !!
I too think Scotlamd will be too fresh and wise to allow another Japanese win, sadly. Would love to see a Japan / England QF, even if we where tuned over I'd be pleased for Japan.
Poor Canucks - had a bit of lesson today.
as expected.
I expect Scotland to comfortably beat Japan.
hmm. there was a lot more quality in that SA side than the scots can muster. I expect it'll be anything but comfortable.
As often happens, I expect this to be Japan's 'final' and there's no way they are going to match that again.
Shame really, but even that result is going to be such a massive boost to rugby in Japan.
Well, we had a grand day at Kingsholm yesterday - really enjoyed watching the Georgians and Tongans go at one another. Some of those Georgians are big lads! 😯
We were stood just outside the Shed - couldn't quite believe we were bathed in sunshine for the whole game. 🙂 Saw that nicely worked Tongan try in our corner that Nige disallowed which was rough on the Tongans we thought.
Down to the Fanzone for the first half of Canada - Ireland and then to the pub for a bite and a few pints for the second half. The atmosphere round the ground, Fanzone and pubs was grand - helped by the autumn sunshine no doubt.
A throughly enjoyable day out. 😀
Like
Wrecker, there is a lot of quality, but the boks have been in turmoil for a few months, and badly out of form. Eddy Jones also knows their setup intimately and devised a game plan to counter their lumbering giants.
There's not a lot between all of the other teams in group B, so it will be really interesting as a neutral, but I still expect Scotland to qualify, and probably SA too.
Just back from anagallis juniors first rugby training session!
Can anyone explain what the point of that Orangutan is? I hate itv this world cup for me proves the worth of the license fee.
