LONDON ¨C Eddie Jones has called on his Japan team to try to emulate the 2015 side that pulled off one of rugby union¡¯s biggest shocks when it beat South Africa in a game that became known as the ¡°Miracle of Brighton.¡±
Japan, then coached by Jones in his first stint at the helm of the Brave Blossoms, upset the Springboks 34-32 in the southern English city in pool play of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
It was a first World Cup victory since 1991 and was a result that has seen the team claim a seat at the sport¡¯s high table, albeit with some varying results along the way.
