Description

Today marks 10 years since one of the biggest upsets in sporting history. 

On this day in 2015, Japan defeated South Africa 34-32 at the Rugby World Cup in what became known as the Brighton Miracle. 

Japan First Five that day was Kosei Ono, who told Piney that it really was a miracle. 

“If I had a spare $10, I probably wouldn’t have put it on Japan to win that game myself.”
