That was brilliant, I honestly doubt the England team could have fashioned 2 tries as good as those by Japan in the second half. I have had a soft spot since they played Wales in the RWC ages ago. They play with such passion and commitment it is so refreshing to watch.
 
I wish the England team played with the level of confidence and will power that Japan just did. We'd be world beaters :(

Insanely good game from Japan though, well deserved!
 
Not quite 500 smackers, but I got 36 from a small bet when I joined the game at half time and saw Japan were only 3 points behind.

What a top 2nd half, plenty of excitement and energy and a well deserved win for Japan.

Thinking I'm not going to see that two quid, that I put on Italy, again! They were better in the Six Nations earlier this year.

Hell yeah, probably one of the biggest upsets in sporting history never mind rugby.

Great spirit by Japan, they kept going behind but always fought their way back in front. What was so good about this win was that it wasn't luok, it was all heart and lots of skill, scoring two of the best tries that you will see this world cup.

Well done Japan.

I don't really follow rugby, but I've noticed Wales are playing at home. Are Scotland also allowed to play at home?

Scotland will not play at home. They would have done so but their bid to co-host failed. All grounds apart from the Millennium Stadium are in England and that was chosen due to its capacity and strategic location:

Who is the commentator who keeps saying Sarmoa? It's starting to get irritating, it's not even difficult to pronounce the country's name correctly.

Quite enjoying this match though, not the highest quality but a decent try for the USA just there to make it a bit more exciting.
 
Thanks. Couldn't understand why Wales were being allowed to play at home, given that the tournament is hosted by England. Wondered if Scotland were afforded the same for their home games, makes sense now after reading that.

Just looking through the schedule, good to see that the knock out round matches held at the Millenium Stadium will not involve Wales. No offence to the Welsh, but having the opportunity to play at their home stadium in any knock out rounds, would be too much of an advantage. :p
