Watch: Japanese commentator lost his mind during the closing moments of historic victory

Brilliant

This is fantastic.

Professionalism went out the window for this Japanese commentator yesterday, and rightly so.

Japan, minnows of the game, pulled of one greatest shock results in the history of rugby, and possibly sport itself, overcoming South Africa 34-32 at the World Cup.

After 80 incredible minutes, the Asian country, 80/1 outsiders before the game, prevailed over their aristocratic opponents, prompting absolute bedlam amongst fans and players at the Brighton Community Stadium.

This Japanese commentator also got caught up in the moment, and lost all composure in the face of the shock result.

Even if your grasp of the Japanese language is a bit rusty, you’ll be able to appreciate this piece of commentary.
