Japan coach - 'I was yelling 'go for the three!''

Japan coach Eddie Jones would have taken a draw in their Rugby World Cup victory over South Africa.

Speaking on 5 live sport, the former Australian coach revealed how he masterminded their astonishing performance:

"We've worked on creating our own style of play that suits the physique of the players....really try to take the game to the opposition", he said.

"We figured we have to have the ball for 60% of the game to have any chance of winning".

Japan's next Rugby World Cup fixture is against Scotland on Wednesday.
