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 woould have been the biggest shock until now. But now it's the 2nd biggest shock.

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).

Love the haka! Hope we'll be seeing it again just before the final

Don't they do it on every game?

Argentina played rather good on the first half, but couldn't keep the pace.

Yeah, that's the point. If they are doing it before the final that means they'll be in the final

Ah, derp.

Argentina put up a good fight, they were in the game until about the 60 min mark. All Blacks are all class though, they always play their best in the last quarter.

Come on Wales!! Also TAG.


Wales easily beat Uruguay, their next game wont be so easy.



Australia, Scotland, Romania and Namibia are getting ready to finally join the world cup fold. Do we have any fans of these teams here?



Go Japan! But sorry I want Samoa to get through from your pool, So I guess that Means japan needs to hope Samoa beats Japan and it's Samoa 1 Japan 2 in the pool. Man wouldn't that be a shocker?
