Japan beat South Africa in rugby? Maybe they brought out the sumo wrestlers for the scrum. Lol. Did anybody notice any salt being thrown? Lol

Hundreds celebrate!

I wonder how fast a big fat sumo wrestler can run with a rugby ball. I guess their faster than a pancake of a person after the throw in.

Germany B's decision not to try for the draw but to go for the win with the kick into the corner. But it showed some arrogance which was revealed to be overconfidence when Wales bundled them off the field. In the end, Wales wanted the win even more.
I applaud G

I laughed at this throwaway line in an article on "Wales Online"

"Victory over Fiji and Australia beating minnows Uruguay and England would put Wales into the quarter-finals..."

Michigan State over Michigan last Saturday. At that point in the game, Michigan State had a 0.2% chance of winning.

So they rolled a 4 or less, obviously doable.

I was just kidding. I know how popular rugby is. I just would have thought that the greatest upset title would have gone to soccer, which is even more popular. Fact is, I like most of those games that I don't/can't follow. They include Rugby, Australian Rules Football, Irish Hurling, cricket. I even have a favorite footballer - Robert Lewandowski of FC Bayern Munich. Last fall he scored five goals in under 9 minutes. And I like his team mate Muller, too. Both strikers. There was a day when I hated soccer. Now I think it's pretty darn good.

What is Irish Hurling? I think I may have been an unwilling player after I drank all that Guiness and Jamieson.

Think field hockey but with a bigger field.

What about The Giants putting 18-1 on the Perfect Patriots?
What about Boston coming back against the Yankees 0-3 and sweeping the series?
Miracle on Ice? College Hockey Kids beating the Russians Pros? That's like a college football team beating the 85' Bears
