- Karne Hesketh's try well after the 80th minute gave Japan an incredible 34-32 win against South Africa at Brighton Community Stadium on Saturday.
フリカに 34 対 32 で勝ち、歴史的
The try came at the end of over six minutes of sustained Japan pressure on the Springbok line and gave the Brave Blossoms only their second-ever RWC victory. The previous win came against Zimbabwe in 1991.
South Africa scored four tries to three in an enthralling duel but the penalty kicking of Ayumu Goromaru kept Japan well in the match in the second half.
FORWARDS BATTLE
Superb defence and a commitment to match the big South African pack meant Japan only trailed the Springboks 12-10 after a forwards battle in the first half, but the game inevitably opened up after the breakand developed into one of the most dramatic upsets of Rugby World Cup history.

I know Im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me
When I watch this excellent video from the country where I am, in France, the title appears translated as "Pays de Galles V Uruguay" (which means in English "Wales V Uruguay").
Is there any way to rectify this error, please?
I watched this game in a pub in Cardiff and I remember making my way back to my table from the bar when I saw Japan wasn't taking the penalty kick. I stopped mid stride and stood there, pint in hand, in the middle of the pub, staring at the screen. When Japan scored that last try the entire place exploded. There was cheering, beer flying everywhere, people were hugging each other, it was like Wales had just won the world cup. Coming to that though, it wasn't just welsh fans. People in Irish jerseys, English jerseys, even a couple Australian jerseys, everyone was cheering like their own team had won. And in a way I think they did. Japan played a beautiful 85 minutes of rugby. The kind of rugby that's become rare since the golden age of rugby in the 1970s - fast, loose, dynamic attack paired with a never-say-die attitude, of course made all the sweeter when part of an underdog story. What a moment for Rugby, what a moment for sport, what a moment for Japan, what a moment for the world. Congrats Japan; I hope to see you do it at home this world cup, even if you do it against Wales ;)
Great post. Good luck in the WC, btw -From an Irishman ;)
Beautifully said!
Wonderfully put! I think everybody outside of South Africa was delighted with the result!
Rhidian D i was at twickenham watching on the big screen before the england game
Thanks for sharing the story. Rugby is still a minor sport in Japan but that moment changed the way people see rugby and taught us an important thing in life: Never give up and always trust yourself. Nothing happens without that determination.
This has to be one of the best rugby World Cup moments of all time
ハロー(・∇・)
The comebacks of rugby World Cup
One of the best moments in all of sport, ever, and I say that as someone who saw England win the soccer World Cup.
@@timbrom you sir is lucky man
One of my all time faves
The fact that Japan didn't settle for a tie and then went on to score a try and win is just incredible! This win is one for the history books!
The fact that both countries uses imports is bullshit
I hope Rassie shows this to the Boks before they run on the field to play them in Japan.
@@namalbionface9306 How does South Africa use imports??
I remember watching this on TV 3 in Ireland now called virgin media.
@@namalbionface9306 Grow up. Every country does it. It's the modern game.
The best game of rugby I've ever seen, I've never celebrated a winning try like I did today.
+TheoKabala89 same here my god i love rugby
+TheoKabala89 are you not south african? your name sounds like its from that area?
Norma_ott Nope.
+TheoKabala89 agree very entertaining match... it seems not only japan but the entire rugby nations were behind the team
it was an outstanding match
Who came back here after Japan beat Ireland ?
Me😂✋
Yeah😂😂
ahahahahah
👍👍👍
yeah
I am South African and I happily congratulate the Japanese team on winning against the Springboks. It is easily one of the biggest/best upsets in world sport. I actually just came back from a wonderful trip to both Tokyo and Osaka, and I love japan. I hope that rugby goes from strength to strength in Japan.
PLEASE upload extended highlights of this match, 4 minutes really doesn't do it justice.
+WorkTheSpace While we are at it, please upload the whole game haha.
+WorkTheSpace Can you upload every try not just some (including ireland v cancada)
+ Arwen2777 I support this.
WorkTheSpace iiii
Extended highlights here: /watch?v=o5UMmIMeZzQ&t=
REMEMBER: South africa didn't lose to Japan, Japan beat South Africa. Well done. I was expecting a good game since Japan's rugby have grown the most of all the world cup teams.
If Japan beat South Africa, it means South Africa lost to Japan! :/
+Robert Cremin Stop trolling bro
+Marinus de Jager agreed. It was a contest of ABSOLUTE Rugby at its VERY BEST.
Neither side gave an inch. Both playing with EVERYTHING they had.
RSA did not Lose to Japan, Japan won against RSA.
The single best match in World Cup 2015 Hands Down.
The score Literally reflected the match: Neck and Neck, and down to a mere 2 point difference.
@@jmx1000 oh my god hahaha
That makes so much sense
Eddie Jones.. First ever Australian coach to fail qualifying for RWC knockout rounds, but also the first Japanese coach to pull off this masterpiece.
Excellent Japan, Congratulations from Argentina.
You deserve to be part of Rugby Championship
van a jugar superrugby no el championship ellos juegan la pacific cup
+Templeton Peck you're just saying that so you can win more games ;)
***** i know but it doesnt happen often. i was implying (as a joke) that if japan joins, argentina would be last in the championship last year and years before
+Templeton Peck And from NewZealand bloody awesome Japan, We better be ready come game time anything and i mean ANYTHING can happen, happy hunting through the tournament Japan.
+Templeton Peck i dont think that Japan is ready for competing in Rugby Championship. Lets wait to see what talent Japan can produce over the next few years in the Super Rugby competition...Rugby Championship is for the most elite rugby nations...Good luck to Argentina for the game in a few hours.
Who came back here again after japan beat scotland?
after Scotland lost against Japan.
Lol hard!
And now Japan are playing South Africa again in the quarter final. Going to be the quarter final to watch.
Lets look for the dragon balls and wish for history to repeat itself against south africa!
@@frowgli1 sorry colin, this is out of shenrons jurisdiction lol
I am South African and a huge fan of Japanese rugby. I love their team spirit. I am acually just as much a fan of their fans. What amazing people. So respectful, humble and decent.
Now a rugby anime!
I 500% agree. Have been waiting forever for a rugby anime.
+LalaLili Read "15: Meisetsu Kougyou Koukou Rugby Bu". The artwork is fantastic.
+LalaLili yessss pleaseee!!!!
+LalaLili Yes please, they could actually do it very well lol
+LalaLili OMG YES
hard not to cry,beautiful
+suffern63 I still have chills down my spine.
+suffern63 man i cried once i saw those old japanese elders cry :( a very special moment
Tim Kruse Yep this was a legendary event, not just in, not even in sport, but in history.
Yonas Campbell indeed my friend.. i will never forget that moment
+Israel Israel maybe you have to learn some more: there are laws and rules about "naturalized" and "equivalent" player, evry nations use them (see New Zealand with good Samoan, Tongan and Fijan palyers...). Only Georgia and Argentina, I think, use all "truely" player as you say. Japan wins on the field, you can't recriminate
From the start to finished you could see they played like mighty warriors. Never gave up for a single moment. I replayed the last try 10 times while crying lol. Truly inspirational! Congratulations Japan. 💓
The courage to go for the win instead of a penalty shot was inspirational. Well done Japan everyone in New Zealand is loving this
Am from argentina, I barely watch rugby, I watched this game by chance without any expectations.. Years later it still one of the more inspirational things full of bravery and courage I've ever seen
オリンピックでサッカー日本代表がブラジルを破った時に、これ以上の奇跡はもう起こらないだろうと思いました。それが過ちであったことがとても嬉しい。不可能に立ち向かう勇気を世界中のひとに知らしめた瞬間。最後の最後まで諦めないという勇気。ラグビー日本代表に関わったすべてのひとにありがとうと言いたい。
Determination, teamwork, heart, passion. Go Japan!! As a Brit you'll have my support throughout!!!!
+ZeeJex Don't forget those foreigners they had!
+Radu Savutiu As the same with every team in the cup!!
I don't think Romania has foreigners. I don't think we have any money to pay them, or any reason for them to become a Romanian citizen.
Radu Savutiu Really? suprised because most teams have foreigners in them and its usually that "samoan or kiwi player".
ហង្សមាស
Re-watching it. As I'm South AFrican, I'm still gutted for Springboks losting, but it give me goosebump when Japan try and victory that I was gobsmacked! But It will forever remember the fierce battle with close margin score and credit to Japan for epic win in crucial death time, But to Japanese, I'm still proud of this match and it will be most memorial Rugby World Cup history in rest of our lifetime.
One day, I wish Japanese Team will have tour to South Africa as we will be happy to welcome with open arm.
I'm thinking I should save up to visit Japan for 2019 Rugby World Cup.
YES JAPAN! I FEEL THE EMOTION! YOU VERY MUCH DESERVE IT! BIG WELL DONE FROM NZ!
The answers Sunday What's the question? Fathers day.
Thank UK for creating this beautiful sport called Rugby. (I love you UK)
TBH I've never , ever appreciated Rugby, till today.
I was more of a football/baseball type.
but from now on I'm putting my full support and dedication to Rugby.
+Hiro Otoda But i do not think your Japan gonna win the wold cup,and i have the assurance that South Africa will bounce back.
+Zangempi What a nasty person you are. Japan just scored the biggest upset in Rugby World Cup, beating the two-time champs. That's good enough for them whatever their progress in subsequent matches. Hiro Otada wants to celebrate that. What wrong with it? As for yourself, you have achieved nothing notable in life and you will never amount to anything in life. So your comment is beneath contempt.
i seriously suspect the game was played...
+mohawk548 Well, isn't that what you do with any game? Unless you play it, it actually doesn't exist.
+mohawk548
I share your suspicion
As a Japanese, this is the happiest sport moment we‘ve ever have! We’ll all never forget NEVER!!
As a 45 year old kiwi that was my favourite game of rugby I ever watched. I could feel that Japan were going to maybe cause an upset that day. You could see them getting stronger and stronger as the game went on with the support from the crowd. You could see the fear in springboks forwards faces when they weren't winning at the scrum or the brake down and all the momentum was with Japan. I felt like I was watching a significant game in rugby history unfold in front of me.
Another kiwi here. It was fantastic. Most kiwi rugby fans remember this.
@@harrywakatipu2547 yeah bro. I've re watched this game a few times over the years and I still get a buzz from it.
What about beating Ireland in the world cup to become the pool winners?
Everyone around the world is sharing the love with you Japan...absolutely well done, savour it all in!
The biggest upset in Sporting History. Well done Japan, lift your heads high. You deserve this historical win.
I follow many sports, but I never really followed Rugby. This game alone has got me interested. I am a Rugby fan now! Thank you Japan.
I went today and was at the North end in the perfect spot to watch that final try. One of the best games of Rugby I have ever watched. A life lesson to all, every time SA scored Japan never gave up. The longer the match went on the belief was that they could win, and they did. The neutral fans got behind them, the South African supporters could not believe what they were seeing. The organisers prior to game did not rate that match as tickets were £20. Just shows how with self belief you can achieve anything.
Whoa..... absolutely amazing. Good on you Japan from New Zealand.
Amazing effort Japan!! すごすぎる！！Japan is now officially the only team to have a 100% win percentage over South Africa. YEAH!!
+ELEX44 As a South African, I can only say well done :D
They played their hearts outs.
I just loved the reaction of the Japanese fans, amazing! That is what sport is all about!!
Ah, this still stirs the heart. Such a hard-fought and completely earned victory. Omedetōgozaimasu Nihon.
すごく嬉しい
ありがとう日本
Amazing heart, courage and spirit. Finished off in style after going for the winning try and not settling for the draw.
Well done Japan.
Crushed SA supporter
+straw suna
Despite this stumble I'm pretty sure our Wallabies will still have a tough game against SA well into the semi finals somewhere.
Couldn't help but shed tears. What a moment of truth. This is faith and work against facts. Mad respect from Samoa
One of the best moment I rugby history. Also I could see springboks’ pride, seeing their pressures to the last kick from Goromaru.
I'm an American NFL fan who admittedly doesn't understand everything I just watched but gotta say, THAT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!! The excitement in the play and the players was contagious!
Thanks to their cheer, Japan was become beautifully. (I may mistaking for English.)
Thank you everyone!
from japanese.
You're not alone, many other foreigners like myself were supporting Japan. Arikato.
و
What's 'Arikato'...? ...
Every person in that stadium (not South African) was supporting Japan and when they went over in the 83rd minute the noise was absolutely deafening. They played really well. From an English man
+Runa Fangu (ルナファング) 何だよ このウェ一アボ一野郎 ルナファングって。。。
It's a rugby miracle
Congratulations Japan ! Well played ! Played for the win - awesome ! Props to coach Eddie JonesSouth Africa remember France lost to Tonga first up last time and still made it to the final
Japan just embellished the spirit of rugby with that superb, world ranking shake up of a performance....
holy crab, that power and size differences!! Congratulation Japan!
+XerosXIII crab lol
haha did you see the japans number 8 try how all the fowards and some backs had to push there way through the South African fowards. Respect to japanese
I was one of the volunteers at Brighton and when I saw the teams at captains run the day before I just thought ‘yeah good luck Japan!’ They were tiny in comparison to the Springboks
The 1st line, the heavier japanese players are trained and learn how to play by a former great international French Player "Marc Dal Maso" and we see the result today. ^_^ Bravo Japan, big congratulations for your great match from France!!!
Best game I've watched ever, absolutely amazing performance by Japan I went crazy when they got that winning try
The only other time I've celebrated a rugby result like that was when Johnny Wilkinson's drop goal went over in WC2003. Well done Japan! From an Englishman.
I decided to give the RWC a go since it was literally everywhere and I stumbled upon this game. And I will never forget this game even though I don't watch Rugby. Amazing sport.
"The try that was heard around the world"
Why wont people look at other aspects of the Japanese abilities? They have a Super Rugby winning scrumhalf, Yamada and Matsushima are in the extended squads of Australian Super Rugby Teams, Shota Horie had a good run with the Melbourne Rebels. These are important points to note as well. Way to go Japan! Azn pride!
One simple word from the commentator: "Japan!!" as Goromaru dived over the line and got the try before the last one! Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand!
and the sound of the crowd on the winning try, sounds like most of the neutrals ending up cheering for Japan! Emotional game , what a moment for Rugby history , let alone Japanese Rugby history!
Nihon e omedetougozaimasu!
This still doesn't get old.
Japan with the rolling maul try, then the set piece try then to snatch it off with a clincher spread out wide at the end....Dam Japan you have come so far...I Salute!
Who’s here before tonight’s quarter final ?
I hope for another great game Ike this.. go Bokke! And also.. go Japan. You’ve been brilliant.
This video has me charged up for the game now
Wasn't going to watch this game after the Ireland game, so glad i did now. The belief that Japan team had was incredible, they deserve every second of glory for that performance and how about the end?? Turning down 2 pretty much unmissable kicks to go for the win. Respect guys, nothing but respect!
Today, I found the meaning of try.
Congratulations Japan! Fantastic result!
Biggest world cup shock ever. Japan have been on the up for a while now beating the likes of Samoa, Wales and Italy in recent years so clearly a country on the rise and this is another feather in their cap. Hope they can keep this up and challenge for a quarter-final place.
Who's here after Japan beat Ireland 2019

Who came back here after South Africa smashed Japan???
@@jonathanmyburgh8209 me SA will get smashed by NZ
Didn't realise NZ had beaten England yet 😂😂😂
@@opetivaihola946 haha, SA wins the world cup, what happened mate?
@@jonathanmyburgh8209 idk
As a South Africa supporter by the end of this game I was cheering Japan, so much heart and spirit they deserved it. The last time I felt this proud of a rugby team it was the 2007 rugby world cup final.
Congratulations Japan! I am ecstatic for you! ~The samurai spirit won the game
おめでとうございます
Still brings tears of joy.
I've also come to see this video because South Africa and Japan have decided to play! I'm also happy to see a match between South Africa and a powerful country! All Japanese will support each other so that each team can perform best! Good luck Japan! Good luck South Africa!🇯🇵🇿🇦！
The try that Japan scored to level the game was one of the best I have seen in International rugby union.
I can't stop watching this! Amazing job Japan, much respect from Australia
What could only be described as a Rocky movie!
Back and forth and a knockout punch for the underdog in the 12th round.
Could of settled...instead claimed their piece of history!
Japan Rugby take a bow, I salute you!!!
Japan Japan Japan, glory to Japan, great win, ¡Viva Japón!
Amazing display. The way Japan kept fighting back against the odds and took the risk to win at the end was inspirational.
This will forever be one of my favourite moments in Sport.
The biggest upset in rugby history. Unbelievable.
Congratulations from France ! An amazing match and an astonishing ending !
The Best Sport Game That i have ever seen.
The second to last try was one of the most high quality tries I've seen in a rwc! The whole game was high quality!!!
Goromaru is my new hero!
Lots of love to all you Cherry Blossoms. From Australia. Tears of happiness for you.
Go Japan! Classic match! The best rugby match EVER! In terms of quality & drama! 🇯🇵🏉✊
One of the greatest matches ever!!! Congrats to Japan from Serbia, nice one xD
My Japanese wife woke me up and dragged me downstairs by the ears to watch the news. Unbelievable! Great start to the WC. Especially since Japan host the next one.
please I want to watch the full match. I regret not watching this.
as a die hard England fan I say WELL DONE JAPAN. you showed the reason why I watch rugby. Keep up the fantastic work and you will top the world league before we know it.
Most beautiful game in the history of the world
This is the greatest win ever in rugby!
As a South African watching I went through various phases - mild surprise, confusion, concern, dawning realisation, panic, resignation and right at the end I was just laughing at the craziness of it. What a way to win - much respect to Japan from South Africa. Now we have a score to settle with you...
And they did it again against Ireland! What a team. What a nation.
This gets me emotional. What a great day for Japan!
Great discipline n tenacity Cherry Blossom! This will go down as the biggest upset in sporting history. Its so emotional - first time I cry watching a rugby highlights. Greetings from Singapore
There are moments and images in Sports that will remain etched in our culture, this is one of them.
Congratulations to Japan team! Bravo from France!
My eyes still water watching this. The emotion from the Japanese fans
As a South African I'm inspired and happy for this team. Well done. NB we came third and could have taken the cup had we almost scored last minute VS NEW Zealand. We were on their line.
Well done Japan from SA
Well done Japan!! You did your country proud!!
1 year later and I still get shivers whenever I see that awesome try
Tf is iDubbz doing here?
Well Done Japan!!! From all of us here in NEW ZEALAND we salute you! All the best for the rest of the tournament!
Soul of samurai!!
Back in 2021 to watch this, one of the greatest moments in RWC history for sure
One of those moments I know exactly where I was. Historic.
I rewatch this everytime knowing I am guaranteed to cry with happiness!!!
This is the beauty of RUGBY. No hatred remark to any although in defeat.
Well done Japan! What a great game to watch! I really don't think South Africa did anything wrong, they played with their usual power and determination, but somehow Japan found the strength to absorb the pressure, then release a flurry of phase play to put the pressure back on the Boks. Amazing.
Would love to see Japan take another scalp at this cup and make a quarter final!
Also, this is a great result for Eddie Jones. What may have looked like a hiding to nothing task to build rugby in Japan, suddenly, has raised more than a few eyebrows....
Kia kaha from NZ! (and c'mon Blacks!)
Amazing figth spirit. Go go go Samourai.
Immense congrats from France.
Saw this live...one of the best moment in sports history!!
Congratz Japan
