SHIZUOKA - Hosts Japan stunned world No. 2 Ireland 19-12 in an extraordinary upset on Saturday to win their second match of the Rugby World Cup and give themselves a strong chance of reaching the knockout stages for the first time.
Ireland, who thrashed Scotland 27-3 in their opening Pool A game, had looked in control after tries in the 13th and 20th minutes, the second being converted. Fly-half Tamura fluffed a makeable penalty, before Ireland took the lead when the rampaging Ringrose rose brilliantly to snaffle Carty's hanging kick into the corner.
