HIGHLIGHTS: Japan v Ireland - Rugby World Cup 2019

Japan pulled off another world cup miracle as they made it two from two with a sensational 19-12 win over Ireland. Ireland opened the scoring with a try, with Japan pulling three points back with a penalty. A second Irish try made it 12-3 around the midway point of the half. However, Japan fought back, slotting two late penalties to trail just 12-9 at the break. Japan missed a penalty attempt but still struck first in the second half, with a try seeing them hit the front 16-12 heading into the final quarter. A penalty with a little under ten minutes to play extended their lead to seven points. An intercept almost sealed it for Japan, but a try saving back track tackle kept Ireland in it. However, the hosts were not to be denied a famous victory, their first ever over Ireland.
