As a South African I'm actually happy for japan beating south africa...it helped the sport to grow exponentially and it's great to play a team like japan 🇿🇦🇯🇵

It is exciting to see Uruguay win against Fiji.

[edenromanov]

Absolutely amazing work by all these teams, can't wait to see more shockers in the future!

[jacqeusmouton]

Still hurts to see SA get beaten by Japan, but the better team won that day and look where Japan is today. Kudos.

Hard to believe that you guys missed the biggest upset of all: Argentina 17 - 12 France, opening match of France 2007.

Wales vs Samoa 1999 was a big upset and France vs NZ 2007

Para mí el mayor golpe de la RWC fue FRA-ARG en 2007. Partido apertura de la copa. Era el mundial de Francia, Los Pumas lo golpearon 2 veces en ese mundial

After a bit of time you could appreciate that amazing win by Japan against South Africa. It was fully deserved so very little bitterness by our fan group.

Caused our side to revaluate what we needed to do to get back to our strength and we stole Eddie to help us the next WC cycle.

It's always great to see another nation develop into a competitive side.

We all knew what was gonna be at No. 1

Thank God he allowed me to see some of those moments on TV

Ireland beating the Bruce's and Fiji beating Wales weren't surprises at all! The Bruce's haven't been the same since they got smashed in their own back yard in 2003 and Wales in 2007 were one of the worst teams in the world! Gatland came in 2008 and changed that, in the same way Jones came in 2016 to turn England around, who were the worst in their history in 2015 world cup!

My favourite is definitely Japan beating Boks in 2015. Nothing against South Africa, but even their fans will admit how special that win was!

our Manu Samoa opened the door for RWC Upsets Go the Manu

Love seeing Hendricks making Campese look like a chump!

[barbarahodgkinson]

Ireland's win against New Zealand in 2014 should have been on this list.

[hugenerretho]

hopefully next rwc will be successfull as much as rwc in japan

[hywelwilliams]

how is ireland beating australia a world rugby shock ?

[Benjamin-vwbr]

South africa at home versus australia it's not a upset.

[jeffreychongsathien]

One the biggest shocks has to be that Bryce Lawrence was ever allowed to referee.

[symeremeyers]

Rhys Ruddock is probably one of the weakest flankers in terms of defending
