South Africa turn it over again. The Springboks' physicality is giving them the upper hand on the hosts at the minute.
This game is in danger of slipping away from Japan.

Japan 3-11 South Africa
Jamie Heaslip
Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 LiveThat's a huge scrum, a huge moment. They've just butchered a try, the fourth they've butchered, but the forwards take it on and say they're going to get this one back. Now they have the potential to just keep pushing that lead out and make Japan play even more.

Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 LiveJapan are trying to shoot themselves in the foot here. They're insisting on playing in their own 22 and they're getting punished for it.

Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's another three on two they've blown. There's no reason to throw the miss pass and it's another open goal!

Pieter-Steph du Toit is in!
No he isn't...
The flanker went galloping in at the corner but the pass to put him in was forward.

Japan 3-8 South Africa
Japan move it so quickly, but so far they have been met by the speed of the South African line. The Springboks rob it, then lose it again as Willie Le Roux spills.
Kenki Fukuoka looks for a gap in return but eventually the ball squirms its way back into green and gold hands.

Jamie Heaslip
Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 LiveI think it's a fair call by Barnes. It looks terrible in slow-mo, everything looks terrible in slow-mo, but it's good refereeing.

Japan 3-5 South Africa
Penalty South Africa. Early in the second half.
De Klerk kicks on with the advantage in his favour and Matsushima cleans out Makazole Mapimpi in midair - was that dangerous? The Japan wing caught the Springbok flyer around the neck.
A little lucky to get away with that, perhaps.

Right then, what do you Japan have in their locker? The way they have played so far in this tournament you would expect Jamie Joseph's side to score at least one try.
But will that be enough against the Springboks? Who have missed opportunities in that first half.

If you missed it earlier, the winner of this one will face a semi-final against Wales, who beat 14-man France 20-19 in their quarter-final in Oita.
