Whoop-whoop Japan!!
Well done Japan!!!
Japan beats the world’s No 2 ranked team (ranked 1st till last week).
Ireland will fall a notch or 2 in the rankings, that’s for sure!
Excellent match…
2nd Big upset in this year’s Rugby World Cup… but the most important one…
The host nation is electric!
Can Japan win their Pool??
If so, they are bound to face the Springboks in the Quarters, I think!
Incredible result!!
Recpect to Japan, Jamie Joseph, Lappies Labuschagne and the whole Japanese squad…
Nobody will ever underestimate Japan again…
I cannot fault the Japan team anywhere on their performance today!
Ireland, well you were outplayed and your performance was ordinary!
Thanks GBS,
At work now but packing up shortly.
WOW……………………..Japan have a realistic chance of topping their Pool here.
Could meet NZ or SA in QF.
Fabulous result for the Tournament, will inject exuberance and excitement in the Host Nation.
