On Sunday the GROUP STAGE of Rugby World Cup 2019 came to a close, with 12 Teams departing and only 8 Teams remaining to contest the final 3 weeks of Rugby World Cup 2019.
7 Of the 8 Teams going forward were expected to go forward but the host nation Japan added their name to the last 8 by beating Scotland and by topping their Pool overall, winning all 4 their Pool matches.
Japan is certainly one of 2 Teams at Rugby World Cup 2019 who have showed the most improvement, the other probably being chalked down as Uruguay who beat the much more vaunted Fiji and on Sunday they really showed passion, spirit, determination and lots of guts against Wales (only trailing by 1 point at the break and then going down not nearly as heavy at the end as was to be expected).
Fiji and Tonga showed some glimpses of what they could be capable of but they lacked overall poise and effectiveness during the Group Stages.
Samoa were the most ill-diciplined outfit by far in Rugby World Cup 2019.
Namibia played with spirit and guts and it is a great pity their final Pool match against Canada was cancelled due to typhoon Hagabis, which could have delivered their 1st ever Rugby World Cup win.

Canada star DTH van der Merwe is relishing the prospect of finally facing his native South Africa in 15-a-side action when the countries meet at the Rugby World Cup.
Tuesday’s Pool B match in Kobe will be just the third time they have played each other and the first in 19 years — when current Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus featured in a 51-18 win for the two-time world champions.
It promises to be a rugby highlight for van der Merwe, a veteran of 60 Tests and stints at clubs in England, Wales and Scotland.
“Something I’ve looked forward to my whole career is to play against South Africa,” van der Merwe told reporters on Sunday.
“Now at your last World Cup it’s quite special. I did play against them in the Sevens back in the day but I’m looking forward to the opportunity,” added the 33-year-old, whose family emigrated to Canada when he was a teenager.
Meanwhile van der Merwe was in no doubt of the challenge posed by the Springboks.
“They have got a physical pack that’s complemented with a real speedy backline,” he said.
“For us it’s a great opportunity just to measure ourselves against one of the best teams in the world.”
Van der Merwe will be playing in his 15th World Cup match, a record for a Canadian.
Babalwa Latsha said the Springbok Women were determined to close off their international season on a strong note on Saturday when they meet Scotland for the second time this week at the City Park Stadium in Cape Town.
The Test will mark the Springbok Women’s sixth of the season, and with three wins – against Uganda, Madagascar and Kenya – and two defeats – against Spain and Scotland – Latsha, the team’s captain, said they are looking forward to running out in the series decider against Scotland.
“There is a buzz in the team and we are excited to face Scotland again,” said Latsha.
“It has been a learning and growing process for the team since we got together earlier this year, and I think we are on the right track. This is our last game of the year and we would really like to finish strongly, so this match is important to us.”
With most of the players in camp in Stellenbosch having made their Test debuts and the team well aware of what to expect from the visitors, who defeated them 47-5 on Monday, Latsha said they were ready to line up against Scotland again.
