Japan toppled Ireland – the top-ranked team in world rugby – in a stunning 19-12 victory that has blown Pool A wide open.

The host nation previously beat Russia in their opening clash, meaning a win over Samoa – and another potential bonus point – would put huge pressure on the rest of the group in their final match-ups.

Samoa crushed Russia in their opener, but were demolished 34-0 by Scotland to dent their hopes of building a run of form.
