Japan caused the biggest upset in Rugby World Cup history after beating two‑time winners South Africa 34‑32 in their opening match this morning.

Replacement Kame Hesketh scored a dramatic last‑minute try as Japan recorded their historic win.

Japan players and fans shed tears of joy at the end of the thrilling match, but the victory was fully deserved after a tenacious performance by the underdogs.

In another RWC match Ireland thumped Canada 50-7, Georgia beat Tonga 17-10 while France defeated Italy 32-10.

Samoa will play USA at 11 tonight.
