First
Gives me chills. I could watch Japan's highlights from 2019 RWC all day.
This is why the world cup needs to expand to include more teams. Extra teams from Asia, Africa and the Americas especially will improve them. Yes at first they will lose and lose huge. But Japan started the same way. Then in 2015 they did the unthinkable and beat South Africa. And in 2019 they beat two top tier nations in Ireland and Scotland and made history. Fantastic world cup. Thank you, Japan.
Everyone's second favourite team
Don’t think the Irish try at 5:10 was clearly grounded, it looked like he was just short of the line and pushed back
Lovely short documentary almost. Real quality work.
I still get tears when I watch the highlights from the Scotland game. That was such a cathartic victory after the typhoon devastated the city.
South africans watching this in fear
Wtf is the thumbnail hahaha
Japan always had the potential given its huge population and first world country
I hope a World Cup can be hosted by the USA soon to bring more Americans into this great sport
It was the most interesting pool in 2019
Wow!! Love rugby
Love Japan (native). Love S. Korea (native). Love Asia (native).
So Privileged to have been there for that amazing match against Scotland, it was a tough week for the hosts after the typhoon but the team did the nation proud.
I am South African but that Scotland Japan game was ons of the best games and highlights with the most meaning to the people of the country you can watch this decade
I’m a Scot but must say it’s hard to grudge that win for Japan. Fair play lads.
Scotland vs Japan, the one time I've wanted my team to not win. Japan deserved that one
日本の場合は、国を挙げて10年計画で大会成功の為に邁進した。途上国だっただけになんでも犠牲にでき、歴史があるから官民の諸先輩が結束できた。日本ならではの結果とも言える。
むしろこれからの3年間が、レガシーを文化として形成できるか重要で困難な期間だ。各方面のベクトルをまとめる大義が、今のところ協会からは感じられない。
I love this japanese jersey
I got goosebumps every try Japan got, thanks Japan, Im so proud of you, as a resident.
