[@jogolock1190]

Yep just watched it after Fiji were robbed tonight. Love the emerging nations.

[@ben-Ziko]

This is the year I've discovered the sport of rugby, and I was hoked ever since. I'm enjoying this year's RWC.

[@frankgunner8967]

South Africa win again but what a great world cup it was.

[@macaion897]

なんでこんなに感動するんだろう。タックルひとつに自然と涙が出てくる。

[@user-bd4yq2en7l]

It’s 2023 and I’m still celebrating. Proud for Japan and proud for being Asian

[@tomwilliams1125]

seeing security and police not able to contain their smile at the end along with the public is quite something too

[@quins8668]

It truly was a miracle what eddie jones was able to do I cannot imagine being there at the time

[@thevoice1702]

Well done Japan! What an amazing game!

[@DavidSpear-iy8lp447]

I'm fijian and this is great to watch what a history for Japan

[@_Opal_Miner_]

Leitch Michael is one of my all-time favourite players. I really hope he gets a lot of game time this World Cup.

[@michael1059]

The greatest World Cup game in rugby world cup history by far.

[@mohaukobe7872]

Did the France vs Springboks match at the 2023 Rugby World Cup change your mind

[@mpersad]

It still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! What a match!

[@JapaneseAccentChannel]

After the Samoa game this morning, worn my Japan Jersey to office and started to give chocolates out. Now having lunch and had to come back to see this. Go Japan!!

[@WalterWhite-sm2dr]

This match taught the springboks not to take any games lightly and was a lesson learnt that helped them win the World Cup 4 years later…

[@yonggeun4222]

i love japans free kick taker pose

[@OKmusic12]

Reckon this might be one of the top sporting moments of all time

[@MR-ns1md]

this game never get old

[@0706_sukashi]

モールで押し切ってトライするのが1番かっこいいよな

[@peteharry351]

The greatest RWC upset. Couldn't happen to two more deserving teams. 😊

[@AA-hg5fk]

A brilliant game, I watched it live with a South African friend, he was not impressed!

[@richardmatatahi4563]

No one could have seen it coming but finally the Japanese can be proud of their team. if I almost thought that would be it, I would be wrong and it wouldn't be the last.

[@kenistoteles]

Samurai win 👏👏👏👏👏

[@harvopolo]

Now this is 1 way to get hyped for RWC23

[@AshboNZ86]

Coach looks stressed 🤣 6:43

[@ghollidge]

Japan shows that everyone can slay a dragon

[@urban_legend.]

We glad we could be part of something special for them.. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💪

[@BlindfoldSniper]

No need to be ashamed. That they beat the All Blacks greatest rivals is a big big deal. They've nearly beaten us since as well. Maybe it's our turn this world cup.

[@IgshaanBarnes-pk5uo]

No one gave Japan a chance. Bravo. Italy has beaten the Springboks , Wales have done it, England done it many times, Ireland has done it, so too Argentina done it 3times, ONLY STRONG TEAM THAT HAVE NEVER BEATEN SPRINGBOKS is SCOTLAND, THEY should watch this and the Italy games Over and Over.

[@thatguyineverycommentssection]

who’s that PA announcer in the stadium? absolutely brilliant work

[@glenmalesa8902]

The sheer bravado by Japan not to take a penalty and level the game was amazing

[@HuwEvans.]

Biggest upset in World Cup history no question.

[@Kyoto_Ed]

the biggest upset in sport. Full stop

[@keltiquewood]

The.Brighton.Miracle!

[@stephengreen3367]

It's the 2023 WC and as an England fan I've come here to watch for maybe a little hope before our semi against the Boks. We're very much the underdogs and not expected to win but then Japan weren't expected to either!

[@SeeYouLeeter]

and what a match mate

[@oliverdeferless6100]

This is bigger than Ben Hur😂😂

[@lloydkidd4153]

Mate that was an amazing game well done no one in the whole world would of predicted that odds at the tab not only head to head but 12 and under cool 😎

[@Natedawg38]

Ireland: fluke 2019: 😮

[@user-jj2vt1kt7m]

泣けるぜ

[@REL-420]

As a proud Bokke, this game hurt but also bought joy cause although Japan won it was a major victory for Rugby

[@user-ic3xj8qt7b]

17:35 警備員たちが喜んでるのが微笑ましい

[@mohaukobe7872]

Very entertaining match. That Japanese player just missing that last conversion on purpose just because they already won was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@dootscat3798]

Wow!!!

[@maverick4177]

The Miracle of Brighton 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 still great to see all those Sewth Efrikans crying in Their beer 🤣

[@m2g-office940]

8年前だったのか 勝ったことは知ってたけど初めて動画みた 鳥肌たった🎉

[@Seanc74]

The will to win, Japan, you were 🔥 that day….

[@chill2363]

I think they would of beaten anyone that day ...match had everything...exciting/drama/emotions ..now Eddie's in the same position 2023 I wonder if history will repeat for the underdog Australia 🇦🇺

[@dirkwilken8664]

History did not repeat itself, but this was still an amazing match.

[@adriangedamke2069]

Truly great game.

[@alabalaportocala8367]

Amazing😂❤

[@deboradlamini4683]

WE STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE 2019 WORLD CUP FINAL FULL GAME! DO BETTER

[@tshepokgatle5620]

When this channel is run by English people who are still sour after we gave them a hiding in the final what do you expect?

[@deboradlamini4683]

@@tshepokgatle5620 exactly my thoughts.

[@lawdriver88]

Отличная игра

[@takurolin]

南アフリカのジャン・デビリアス主将にとっては、自らの引退の大会であり日本に負けたという試合を身をもって経験した大会でもある。

[@andrexadoh]

So the big question is for me. Was Japans form in 2019 a product of Eddies work? How much did Jaime Joseph do or was it already done

[@teamtoken]

Eddie jones created a competitive Japanese team from the ground up. Jamie Joseph kept it going.

[@ianmarsden6276]

During the first half of this game I was talking on skype to my girlfriend in California, I thought that I knew the outcome. At halftime I checked the score. Twice! Then said "gotta go babe, something has just come up!" No regrets!

[@lemon5514]

the most best match ever men 👍

[@consolatobonanno7563]

I never watched Rugby in my life. Why was this match a miracle, can someone explain me? :O

[@_Opal_Miner_]

South Africa are one of the powerhouse nations of rugby. They have won the World Cup 3 times ( twice when this game was played). Japan on the other hand were ranked as the 13th best team in the world going into this tournament. The Rugby World Cup tournament starts with a bunch of pool games where the strongest teams are pitted against much weaker sides before going onto the finals stage of the competition. Normally a strong team like South Africa would rest some of their better players when they play the weaker teams 1st up, to keep those players fresh for the finals but South Africa chose to put their best team on the field to give them some game time together. Because of all these factors it was expected to be a very easy win for South Africa, being a very strong team against a much weaker Japanese team. Japan winning was an incredible upset that almost no-one expected could happen.

[@musiclove1906]

at that time, Japan had participated in seven world cups without much success, wining only one match in total (of 28). South Africa was already a big ruby nation, two times world champion. It is like in football Brazil or Italy were defeated by Bangladesh or Lichtenstein and not by 1-0, but after a goal thriller like 4-3.

[@mithunchowdury2976]

Pap is talking. Love you southafrica ❤❤❤

[@titob81]

Good win by the "Japanese"

[@andrepaquenet723]

C’est ce que vous dites pour consterner le monde !!!

[@birajit2837]

❤

[@azmanmdsalleh2009]

not upset but the best giant killer duel

[@MrTomkzn]

I wonder if Jesse Kriel slept at all for 4 years after that missed tackle...

[@Apex-ec7if]

RSA are such an overly violent team its disgusting. Love japan!💖

[@peethauptfleisch4763]

Cannot say much about this happen take it on the chin and move as the saying ever dog has its day

[@_Opal_Miner_]

1:35 South Africa were going to score anyway but how is that legal?

[@thejediknight203]

We have had our vengeance, beating Japan in Japan and then going on to win the world cup and having their crown prince and future Emperor personally handing us the trophy 😁 I would say scores are settled….more than settled 😂🤣😂

[@timrthoward7007]

13:27 blindside winger tracks across and makes the try saving tackle holding SA to a penalty

[@eagle227]

日本だけでなく間違いなくラグビー史に残る名ゲーム。
