Ross Moriarty’s late try clinched it as Wales avenged their 2011 semi-final loss to France with a mirror-image result – after they also had a man sent off and lost by a point eight years ago.
France's lock Bernard Le Roux carries the ball during the Japan 2019 Rugby World Cup quarter-final match between Wales and France at the Oita Stadium in Oita on October 20, 2019. s “I think the better team lost today, but that red card was obviously significant. The great thing about our boys is they don’t give up,” Wales coach Warren Gatland said.
Now Japan are hoping they can add to their wins over Ireland and Scotland and topple the mighty Springboks – as they did in their “Miracle of Brighton” victory in 2015, one of rugby’s greatest shocks. However, they remain heavy underdogs against an imposing South Africa side, who have set out to bully the Japanese with their massive pack and by naming six forwards among their eight replacements on the bench.“I have to use my technique given I’m small. The try Russell scored in the Scotland game started off with my mistake so I really felt responsible, and I feel they’ll look to attack me in the next game, as well as near the try-line.
Japan’s ultra-fast, accurate handling and lightning pace created four highlight-reel tries against Scotland as they won 28-21 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time.
