Nice speach by Michael Leitch, victorious captain of Japan.
This was a hard game, the Japanese bodies will be battered and bruised.
Their opponents for the Quarter, the Springboks have already been resting since late on Wednesday, so they will be much fresher.
The emotions clearly visible amongst the Scotish players who poured their whole hearts into this match…
