Such pace and invention from @JRFURugby If they beat @Scotlandteam why the hell cant they beat @Springboks in the quarters. #daretodream #RWC2019 #JAPvSCO

What an incredible match - and this is what it means. Woman in front of me in tears as Japan reach their first ever rugby World Cup quarter final. Many other fans the same. #RWC2019 #JAPvSCO pic.twitter.com/h1ULwV5BVe

The most extraordinary game of rugby #JAPvSCO - the atmosphere, the accuracy and speed that @JRFURugby played at was phenomenal - @Scotlandteam will return home to think again - euphoric despair! pic.twitter.com/OX2SffSm34

Michael Leitch - “We’re representing Asia, we’re representing Japan, we’re representing tier two...”
Don’t know how much longer they’ll be tier two for. #JAPvSCO

I think I said this when Ireland lost to Japan but, if you’re a Scotland fan and it’s extra painful to get beaten knowing that the whole world is supporting your opponents, that’s what it’s like being an England fan all the time. #JPNvSCO #JAPvSCO

A sensational game of rugby. @Scotlandteam much improved in the second half but can have no complaints-Japan were absolutely outstanding. #JAPvSCO #RugbyWorldCup

One of the best games of rugby I’ve seen. Congrats to #japan through to the QF. #wowee #JAPvSCO #worldcup pic.twitter.com/vR3NojmgZp

Unreal. Passion, emotion and execution. Defence won them the game and ruthlessly taking their chances when they arrived. I’ve not been that emotional watching a non-England game since Japan v South Africa 4 years ago.
And now they get to do it all over again! #JAPvSCO #RWC2019

Amazing. First Asian side to make QF of a World Cup. What a win. Exceptional. Take a bow Jamie Joseph. #JAPvSCO #RWC2019
