Japan is thedoing so well in world cups .

[@thoughtfulprofessor4198]

Japan’s win over SA has to be the moment. For me Japan made me dry watching it. The sheer joy the players and everyone in the crowd (supporting Japan or the Boks) was something else.

[@fizzy6662]

Everything in this video was amazing

[@mataicakau237]

1. Fiji vs Wales 2007 RWC 2. Tonga vs France 2011 RWC and France still went on to the final. 3. Fiji vs Wallabies scrum 2015 RWC 4. Josua Tuisova's try vs Wales

[@portaccio]

I watched the Japan v South Africa game in the pub and as it went on everyone got more and more into it. In the end it was like watching England win the world cup. When they scored that try at the end the whole pub went absolutely bananas. Amazing stuff.

[@dude9318]

Thats awesome

[@lorcanatkinson8595]

Was in a pub in Scotland during the dying stages of the game. Children were thrown in the air when that try was scored

[@DanA-fk6tl]

There's one camera angle of that last try where you see all the cops and security guards going bonkers, jumping and screaming their heads off...NONE of them was watching the crowd. Hilarious! What a victory! Not just the win, but they way they did it! Fabulous...amazing...EPIC!

[@rogerhawkins6433]

Stranski’s dropped goal didn’t win the World Cup - the poison served to the All Blacks ensured South Africa would win 24 hours before the kick off! The All Blacks should have refused to play the test until the team had stopped throwing up (at least!). A disgusting but totally in keeping with the leadership of South African rugby at the time. The All Blacks were literally heroic for even making the game that close, especially given many of them had to leave the field to throw up, or visit the toilets WHILE the game was going on! Shameful ! That’s no way to claim a World Cup “win” and the whole world knows it!

Quite a few people commending the sportsmanship of the other side helping the first guy down safely. I think you'll find they were also making sure the ball didn't get released too quickly :) If you want a better example: I was in the Stade de France in 2007 for England's pool match vs South Africa. We'll not talk about the scoreline :) About 56 minutes in, Jason Robinson makes a break, and its obvious to everyone in the stadium that he pulls up with a hamstring injury. The South African defenders got to him first, just form a line in front of him, and wait for the English to come and form a ruck over him, and then don't counter-ruck over the top - they do compete, but keeping Robinson under the tunnel between the two sides. I found a video of the game to check my memory! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYi1gHmKorqShJI This is 1hr:19 into it.

Also, that Japan game is an outright Sporting moment, not just rugby, the stadium was hugely neutral anyway being as it was in England but by the end even the South African fans where fully onboard with all the celebrations. The Japanese epitomised sporting passion in that game.

[@kgill99]

Nah clear late hit, You can only commit when you’re in range, he committed from a long way out and didn’t make the necessary adjustments, the ball was long gone, Back then it would’ve just been a penalty, now he might have been looking at red as he took the player to the ground head first.

[@tomlaurent2122]

Lmao this tackle deserved a red card... Even if it is not intentional by lawes he unfortunately landed the player on the ground head first. For player's safety it should have been penalized. But I understand the fact that if he hasn't been landed on the head the tackle was perfect

[@pilotedavion6716]

In the rules if the tackled guys fall on his head its red card, but never apply when its an english or a wales man...

[@croulantroulant3082]

guaranteed if a French lock had done that to an English 10 = red. Plisson's legs went past the horizontal. and he landed head first, as others have said. So yes you are right, it was never a question of a yellow card, it was a clear red. Actually could have ended very badly for Plisson with a neck injury.

[@ofs82]

I've always enjoyed Julien Dupuy's dummy drop goal spin and score in the last minute against Bath in a cup match, back when Leicester and Bath were both top teams and had a real rivalry going. With a tied game and facing an increasingly difficult drop goal for Sam Vesty or Geordan Murphy to leave Bath with a minute to get the ball back, Bath had the whole team ready to charge out the blocks and charge down the kick, instead Dupuy dummied the pass and ran in behind them to take it under the post, use the rest of the time on the conversion and win the game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYfIiqqahqZ0ppI
