WATCH: The Japanese commentary from their win over South Africa is a thing of beauty

One of the biggest upsets, perhaps in sporting history, took place over the weekend as the Japanese rugby team beat South Africa in their opening World Cup match. 

There were plenty of Irish fans celebrating a win for the underdog, as well as pundits and commentators around the world who couldn't believe what they were seeing. 

However, the Japanese commentary on the closing stages of the match really captures the excitement and just what it meant to fans of the game in the country to finally get a landmark victory, after seeing their team on the end of a number of big defeats over the years. 

You don't need to understand Japanese to realise that they're pretty happy as Karne Hesketh goes over the try line at the end.
