BRIGHTON, England (Reuters) - Japan recorded the biggest upset in Rugby World Cup history as substitute Karne Hesketh scored on the last play of the game to seal a 34-32 victory over two-time winners South Africa and send reverberations through the sport two days into the six-week tournament.
It was only the second win in 25 World Cup matches for the Asian nation, but they fully deserved to take the spoils from Saturday's pulsating Pool B encounter at the Brighton Community Stadium.
