Possibly the most intense 10 minutes I've seen so far
1. Leitch making 3 carries
2. Most aggressive tackling and rucking
3. Japanese keeping possession like their life depended on it
A rugby miracle indeed

Leitch Michael is one of my all-time favourite players. I really hope he gets a lot of game time this World Cup.

seeing security and police not able to contain their smile at the end along with the public is quite something too

This match taught the springboks not to take any games lightly and was a lesson learnt that helped them win the World Cup 4 years later…
