Highlights

The conversion slides wide, but it doesn't matter in the slightest. Japan have just produced the biggest shock in the history of the sport. In Brighton it finishes South Africa 32, Japan 34!

80'

TTTRRRYYY!!! They've done it! Japan have scored in the corner! What a moment! What a game! It's Karne Hesketh with the try! Japan have beaten South Africa!!!

80'

The clock ticks over into the red as the scrum is re-set. Can Japan pull off the biggest shock in rugby history?!

79'

Japan go over the line, but there is no view of the ball whatsoever and the TMO can't give it. We go back to a scrum five metres out.

78'

Coenie Oosthuizen goes to the bin for the final couple of minutes for not rolling away. Japan kick for the corner and will have a lineout five yards from the South Africa try-line!

78'

Japan have the ball inside the South Africa 22. There are just two minutes left on the clock. Surely not?!

76'

South Africa are going through the phases, desperately trying to make sure that the rest of the game is played in Japan's half. It's now or never for the underdogs!

74'

73'

Pollard will not have had many easier kicks at goal, and the lead is up to three. It's 32-29.

72'

South Africa butcher a try-scoring opportunity, but the ref pulls it back for an offside infringement and South Africa will have a straightforward kick to go back into the lead.

70'

Eddie Jones has worked some sort of miracle with this Japan side. Whatever happens now, this has been a monumental moment in the history of international rugby.

69'

Goromaru has been a revelation today and kicks the conversion from out on the touchline to bring the scores level. There are just ten minutes left. And the scores are level. Unbelievable.

68'

TRY! Scenes! Absolute scenes! Goromaru crosses in the corner at the end of a wonderfully-worked attacking move.

67'

66'

But Japan brilliantly steal the lineout and live to fight another day!

65'

South Africa go for the jugular with a kick to the corner. Everyone in the ground knows what's coming...

64'

63'

Another sub, Handre Pollard, makes no mistake with the conversion.
