Here comes the wide attack. If -- and it's a big if -- Japan are able to emulate their 2015 RWC victory over South Africa by knocking over Ireland, the world's No.1-ranked team, then they would be firmly in the driving seat for a place in the quarterfinals. What a game!!!!!! It’s the final significant hurdle for Ireland in Fukuroi today on their path to the top of Pool A, tackling their tournament hosts, Jamie Joseph’s Japan.
