Well, that's it from us after another fantastic day at the Rugby World Cup - with excitement until the end in Japan's late bonus-point win over Samoa.

Now the stage is set for a final-day showdown between the Brave Blossoms and Scotland to see who will make it to the quarter-finals and tee up a potential meeting with either South Africa or New Zealand.

If you're still craving a World Cup fix then we've got you covered here...

• England beat Argentina to reach last eight
• Seven-try Australia see off Uruguay
• Japan beat Samoa to top Pool A

Still to come in Pool A...

• Scotland v Russia
• Ireland v Samoa
• Japan v Scotland

Japan flanker Pieter Labuschagne, speaking to ITV: "It was hard work out there, it took us a long time. They're a quality side and showed it in the first half. Luckily in the last minute we got through for the bonus-point try.

"There are a lot of leaders in this side, it makes it a lot easier. It's taking it moment for moment and trying to make the best call at that time.

"This crowd is truly amazing, especially the last 10 minutes, they dragged us through - they've been absolutely wonderful."

It will be a massive final game in the pool-stage coming up for Japan against Scotland now.

And here's how it stands. Japan seemingly in control in Pool A...

Samoa were let down by their discipline. They play a certain way, they fly into tackles and it could have been even more costly, as we know from the subsequent citings - they should have had two red cards against Russia, Fidow got a red card against Scotland in the next match, and Japan got their first try when Ioane was in the bin today.

They have to modify their game because it's a dangerous form of the game that they play - and as we know, that is something the game is trying to eradicate. That is at the heart of why they're on their way home already.

What a game. Japan looked to be struggling under some serious Samoa pressure in the second half but they've pulled the bonus-point win out the bag and sit in pole position in Pool A.

That's it.

Think we all need a lie down after that finish. Or a Sake.

Here goes the drive, huge power in that Japanese pack but the referee has blown for a penalty. What do the hosts do here? It'll be the same again, edging ever closer...

Japan have it back! A free-kick for the feed at the scrum. Drama in the closing stages in Toyota. The Brave Blossoms get a put-in five metres out.

This place is about to burst.

I know it seems like you want to tap and go, but they're going for the scrum because you can suck in eight players. They'll look for a really quick ball out of the back and then it's a case of backs versus backs.

Samoa opt for the scrum again. A few metres from their own line. Japan desperately want to turn this over and grab that extra point in Pool A.

Well, Samoa have not read the script. Superb defence to turn the ball over and they get the put-in at the scrum. We've had the gong, this'll be the last dance.

Five-metre line-out for Japan. Good throw, solid take and here goes the driving maul.

Toyota is absolutely roaring.

There are 40,000-odd people in that maul helping it forward.

Another blistering break from Japan and Samoa are penalised. The hosts won't be going for the posts here, they want another try and a bonus point. It could prove vital...

What a response! It's literally end to end. I love the composure that the Japanese backs had there. There's a lot of pressure on them, the forwards had battled really hard to give them good possession in a good position.

They fully utilised that opportunity. Japan decided not to compete in the line-out and defend but credit to Samoa, as soon as they got that ball down we saw the number five, Kane Leuapepe, peel away. He sucked in two or three players looking for an offload, they remained composed and played it out wide for the centres.
