Japan!!!!!! What a result! Gotta be one of the biggest ever shocks at a world cup.

Biggest shock in Rugby history I would think. Fantastic result by them. I still would rather Samoa get through and I don't see South Africa losing another one. So I am looking for South Africa Samoa 1-2 for this pool. A shame though because I would like to see Japan make the 14's some day.

Georgia beats Tonga is a bit of an upset too, but not on the same scale Tonga is only 5 ranks ahead of Georgia. And a disappointment for me. Japan is actually pretty high in the world rankings. #13, so only 10 ranks behind South Africa. But still you would never expect any team in the top 7 losing to a team outside the top 10.

Wasnt it last year that Wales lost to Japan? I think Scotland will go through with SA. Japan is similarly ranked to USA and Samoa. Theyll probably lose to one of them.

That was during Wales summer tour to Japan in 2013, and it was a second string Welsh side (most of the starts were in Australia for the Lions tour).
