The Quarter Finals of the Rugby World Cup are the most competitive part of the tournament. The best rugby nations in the world take to the field to battle it out for a spot in the semi-finals. The quarterfinals of the 2019 Rugby World Cup featured two incredibly exciting matches that went in opposite directions when it came to expected outcomes. The first match was a head-spinning, jaw-dropping victory for Japan (in the quarterfinals, no less!) over South Africa (expected winners by a mile). The second match was a one-goal win by Wales over France (not exactly a surprise, but a very close game).
