Few expected Japan to face Scotland with a win under their belt but the Brave Blossoms flipped Pool B on its head last weekend.
Pulling off the greatest Rugby World Cup upset of all time has meant that Japan have won millions of new fans, had their triumph covered extensively back home on television and in the press, while the official World Cup store in Oxford Street ran out of Japanese replica jerseys over the weekend.
Captain and originally from Fiji Michael Leitch were rightly proud of that outstanding achievement, but insisted that the Brave Blossoms work in this tournament is far from over.
Japan will take on Scotland at 1.30am tomorrow.
