Rugby World Cup: Japan make history with first win over Ireland
Japan made history at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday night, beating Ireland for the first time to go top of pool A and send their fans into rapture. The 19-12 victory sent shock waves around the world with no-one giving the host nation any chance against one of the pre tournament favourites in Shizuoka. Rugby reporter Joe Porter watched the match at the Oita fan zone with local supporters and some expat Kiwis who've been living in Japan for half their lives.
