YOKOHAMA, Japan - Japan produced a scintillating display of attacking rugby to beat Scotland 28-21 and reach the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals for the first time on Sunday, lifting the nation still reeling from the deadly impact of Typhoon Hagibis.
When Japan beat South Africa four years ago - having won only one of their previous 24 World Cup matches - it was considered the greatest shock in rugby history. This time, having already beaten Ireland three weeks ago, it did not even feel like a real surprise - they have now won seven of their last eight.
The match was given the go-ahead only on Sunday morning after an inspection of the damage caused by the typhoon and proved a wonderfully uplifting occasion for the country after the death and destruction wrought by the storm.Related Coverage Japan were playing with a speed and intensity that the Scots just could not live with and got a third try at the end of the half when Tim Lafaele slipped through a deft grubber that bounced perfectly into the arms of runaway wing Fukuoka, to the delight of the scarcely believing crowd.
