Japan Rugby World Cup 2015 Jersey

Japan were a surprise success at Rugby World Cup 2015, coming close to quarter final qualification but missing out on points difference but most people’s most vivid memory of the Japanese side was their heroic victory over South Africa.

The Japanese team went into the game having lost every one of their World Cup games since 1991 and playing against one of the top ranked sides in world rugby.

A spectacular try by Karne Hesketh, in the last play of the game, ensured Japan would go down in history as the instigators of the greatest shock in Rugby World Cup History.

The Japanese Jersey, like the Irish jersey makes use of Canterbury’s injection moulded crest and vapodri technology. It is a popular jersey with supporters because of its aesthetically pleasing red and white hooped design.

This is a Replica of the Players jersey. The only difference between this and the actual jerseys worn by the players is that this jersey has no number printed on the back.

This is a video of the winning try for Japan against South Africa.
