FUKUROI CITY, Japan - Japan’s 19-12 World Cup win over Ireland may have stunned the rugby world on Saturday but one man claimed that he was not surprised - Ireland coach Joe Schmidt.
“I don’t think the Japanese performance exceeded my expectations - it unfortunately met my expectations. We expected them to be as good as they were. We knew they were going to be incredibly tough and so it proved.” Ireland beat Japan twice in 2017, racking up 85 points in the process, and had not lost to them in seven previous matches in all but they faced a much tighter, disciplined unit this time around.
“Potentially the bonus point could be really important. It means that we have got six points, Japan have got nine and Samoa have five.
