Incredible Rugby result: Japan beat South Africa
This is an astounding result. Japan scored a try in injury time to defeat the Springboks by 34 to 32 in the first weekend of the Rugby World Cup in England.
To put this in context, South Africa have won the World Cup twice, in 1995 and 2007; Japan have won just one match in all their previous RWC tournaments. The tallest man in the Japanese forward pack is shorter than the average height of the 'Boks forwards.
By way of illustration, it would be similar to a college team beating the Seattle Seahawks in a game of American football.
Not that I need to establish a link to kilt wearing for a thread in the Miscellaneous forum, but Scotland have qualified for this year's RWC, in pool B with Japan, South Africa, Samoa and the USA.
