YOKOHAMA, Japan - Japan captain Michael Leitch dedicated the team’s 28-21 victory over Scotland at the Rugby World Cup on Sunday to those affected by the super typhoon which nearly forced the cancellation of the match.
The victory for the Brave Blossoms sent them through to the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time, the first Asian country to achieve the feat and the first tier-two nation to reach the knockout stage since 2007. A brace of tries from Man of the Match Kenki Fukuoka and one each from his fellow winger Kotaro Matsushima - his fifth of the tournament - and prop Keita Inagaki were enough to give Japan a cushion to hold off a Scottish comeback.“They wanted it as much as the Scots and gave as much as they could. This is what it takes to win big test matches.
Japan’s victory meant they topped Pool A and will now move onto the last eight to face twice world champions South Africa, the team they famously beat at the last World Cup in England in 2015.
