National wave of excitement

Fans watching Japan's Rugby World Cup match against Ireland at a public viewing event in the Yurakucho area in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, on Saturday erupt in joy and exchange high-fives with each other after Japan scored a try to take the lead en route to a 19-12 win. Ireland fans, sporting the green uniform of their team, looked distraught after the match but offered their congratulations to their Japanese counterparts. Similar events were held around the country. (Credit: The Yomiuri Shimbun)
