All language subtitles for The Brighton Miracle (2019).eng

145 to 17, people
still laugh about it.

Frankly, it should
never have happened.

But who gives a
damn about history?

It's over-rated.

It was all about the glorious
uncertainty of elite sport.

And it went well beyond
the playing field.

It was devastating.

It was completely unexpected.

It was a sporting catastrophe.

Let me tell you,
these guys are here

to embarrass you,
embarrass your families.

They want to show the
world who they are

and you don't
deserve to be here.

A lot of people think that was a tough time for me.

But I was given a role to perform for the team.

It was all the training,
all the promises,

it all counts for nothing.

And believe me,
nobody had any inkling

of what was going to
transpire that day.

You got to stay with
them, do what they hate.

You give more than you ever had.

To challenge for a win
and go down fighting for it.

That's a lot more honorable
way to go down.

Play our way, Japan way.

Let's go.

Every anniversary makes that nightmare feel like yesterday.

It was 17 years ago! It′s time to move on.

Let′s talk about today.
Are were sure about the new coach?

I thought we already agreed.

He′s not signed... He′s Australian.

I heard he can be difficult.

He′s half Japanese.

He was born in Australia.
He doesn′t care about our way.

We′re ready.

Eddie, how do you feel?

Yeah good, mate, happy.

JR, we need new
assistant coaches.

I'll make a list.

We already have
assistant coaches.

I know.

The first time I
heard about Eddie

coaching the national
team, I think

I may have heard
it from my wife.

I'm home.

Hey.

I'm off to do some
extra training.

I thought we were going
to the real estate agency.

Oh, can we do that next week?

If you're having second
thoughts, just tell me.

But rugby won't last
forever, Michael.

No second thoughts.

I heard on the news that Eddie
Jones signed on to coach Japan.

Half Australian, half
Japanese, that guy?

I heard him talk.

He's 100 % Australian.

I heard he's a cranky bastard.

You know, I was a little
bit intimidated, but excited

at the same time, because
although he was a grumpy coach,

I knew he got results.

I heard he's a cranky man.

Anyway, I've got to go.

See you later.

JR, what's the news?

I got permission to
get two new coaches.

Two out of eight, that's 25 %.

Call me back when you get 100.

But--

So that's full
time here in Tokyo.

The French Barbarians defeating
Japan by 40 points to 21.

Coach Eddie Jones
certainly has some work

to do before the World Cup.

Leitchy, that was shocking, mate.

Where's that pride?

There was no
leadership out there.

Eddie, the French were too good.

Rubbish.

We had early penalties.

We had chances to get points,
but we didn't take them.

You always take the
points on offer.

It's not as if the
French were too good.

We weren't good enough.

There's a difference.

I heard you got demoted to a desk job at your company.

I start tomorrow.

Goro... for your position,
where do you rank yourself

in the world?

Top 20?

Maybe.

Mate, you're not
even in the top 100.

At the World Cup, this team
needs you to be the best.

And you can be, but
you've got to work hard.

The press conference was
an interesting situation.

Eddie Jones and
team captain Hirose.

Eddie--

Yeah, really poor
performance by us today.

Nothing courageous or brave
about their performance.

I'm disappointed with
my player's attitude.

Didn't want to win enough,
didn't want to change enough.

So I'm going to have
to change the players.

I cannot have performances
like that for Japan.

I apologize for
that performance

because I'm responsible for it.

And I guarantee I'm going
to make some changes.

I better stop now.

Hirose, do you agree?

It's not funny.

That's the problem in Japan.

They're not serious
about winning.

Do we want to grow
up so we can compete?

I'm sick of people thinking that
half an effort is acceptable.

It's not.

He's killing us.

It was tough on
Hirose, but I think

it was a message
that had to be said.

At the press conference, I didn't mean to be
disrespectful...

At first, I felt a little upset with Eddie,

but when I look back and think about it, what he said was
correct...

It was embarrassing.

If I'd paid to watch,
I'd want a refund.

Eddie, you can't
change them overnight.

You've only just got the job.

Ned, if we don't win,
I won't have a job.

Before you know it, the
World Cup will be here.

And you know a good
teams do to

Japan at the World Cup.

In 1995, New Zealand beat
Japan 145 points to 17.

Now how does a
team get over that?

It affects the whole country.

Eddie, stop talking.

I'm serious.

So am I. I've told you before,
there are some things in life

we can't control.

Uncontrollables,
Eddie, that's life.

Those kids that used to
call you all sorts of names

when you were young,
could you control them?

No.

Could you control your reaction?

Yes.

Focus on the controllables,
Eddie, and get some rest.

You can't keep
doing 20-hour days.

Get some rest.

I will.

I'm sorry to call when
you've not been there so long.

I called your brother.

I told him not to
be with those boys.

He crashed his car.

He's gone, Michael, he's gone.

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Oh, I almost forgot,
could you come and visit

my English school?

The students always
ask if you can.

I'm just a rugby player.

You should get a
baseball player.

But you're the only person
they know that's famous.

And you've been on television.

To them, that means
you're famous.

Just 20 minutes.

OK.

Thank you.

Now, let's get back to it.

You're writing looks good.

Growing up in New
Zealand as a half caste,

I struggled to fit in.

So when I moved to Japan, I
came across the same struggles.

Excuse me.

When did you come to Japan?

Ten years ago.

Ah, you've got ID.

Check the details.

Please check...

People would often
judge on the appearance.

And to lose your identity
in a foreign country

is a dangerous thing.

Stay out of trouble.

Lucky for us, our game got drowned out
by baseball and soccer news.

The game maybe, but the press conference
keeps getting replayed. Eddie's crazy.

Am I the only person he sends texts to at 2 a.m.?

2:28 a.m.

We all get those. Stop complaining.

Besides, somebody had to say it.

Our performance wasn't acceptable.

What's not acceptable?

We want to talk
about the World Cup.

Well, me too.

What's the update
on the new coaches?

Well, you said Marc
Dal Maso is crazy.

But do you still want him?

He is crazy, but
he gets results.

There are 30
countries in the world

with a bit of scrum than ours.

We look like idiots out there.

Eddie, there's a process.

I know the process, mate.

Every four years, Japan
loses every World Cup game.

Just for once,
imagine what it would

be like to win against a top
three ranked team in the world.

Can you at least imagine that?

Let's talk about things
after the Fiji game.

Michael Leitch is
back from injury.

Eddie, our players
are doing their best.

Well, their best
isn't good enough.

The world champions.

Are taking the easy way.

But worse than that,
they expect to lose.

And that's what's
not acceptable.

Eddie, you can't walk out.

Bullshit.

Results don't change because
nothing around here changes.

If I stay, I contribute to that.

You lot have got to
stop managing failure

and change your thinking.

We've got good players.

But how can they be great
if we expect to lose?

Has anybody ever walked out on us before?

We're considerate, aren't we?

Very.

We're trying to help him.

Soon, we'll know who were
playing in the World Cup.

It doesn't matter who it is.

We going to win.

It starts today, JR. Do
you believe we can win?

You'll have to lie much
better than that, mate.

So work on it.

Just get me those coaches.

I want them all here
after the Fiji game, OK?

Don't fail, JR.

You might be wondering
why they call me JR.

Why everybody call
me JR, which is I've been

lost Japan Railways in Tokyo,
maybe more than 100 times,

even though I'm Japanese.

It's really a shame.

Our appointment with the estate agent is at noon.

Sorry.

Can we do it next week?

I'm really sorry.

Thanks for coming, mate.

All good, mate, all good.

Grab yourself a drink.

I'll have a coffee.

I want to talk about
the present captain.

Too old, too slow.

It's your job if
you want it, mate.

Grab those drinks.

The real Eddie wouldn't do that.

What would he do?

Blow your head off.

Thanks for coming, mate.

All good mate, all good.

I ordered you a latte.

Heard it's your favorite.

You hungry?

No, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Have a seat.

How's Satomi?

Yeah, she's good.

Now, Captain, great guy, great
leader, on and off the field,

but he's 32.

His best games are behind him.

This game against Fiji, going
to be his last game as captain.

Then his role is going to
be off-field captain.

He's great for team morale.

Have you told him?

Mate, from now on, I want
you to be our on field captain.

What if I improve?

I can do extra work.

After the Fiji game, mate,
I can't make any promises.

It was hard to take it...

I tried to work out what it was that Eddie was trying to
tell me...

I wanted to understand how he thinks so I could improve.

You know, it was a
pretty exciting time.

I had my whole family
there, watching.

I just come back from injury.

So now's a great opportunity
to put my hand up

for the World Cup spot.

So, you know, I was very
excited for that game.

It's a big day here in
Asian Championship, Japan vs Fiji.

Homecoming of sorts
for Michael Leitch,

recovering from broken arm and
clearly relishing the moment.

I'm watching it now.

Leitch has led from the
front all day, inspirational.

More up-tempo play
Japan.

Leitch for the ball, a brilliant
run for the big fellow.

That looks terrible.

To look down and see your foot
facing the opposite direction,

two years out from
the World Cup,

you know, it's very, very scary.

And I really did reconsider
my options at that time.

He's late.

I'm glad we're be
back from Fiji.

Don't you like the place?

I miss sushi.

They have seafood in Fiji.

It's not the same.

Sitting in traffic last week,
everybody looked so glum.

They wake up, they sit in
traffic, on crowded trains.

Most of them hate their job.

Why do it, mate?

Probably to pay bills.

Do you like your job?

I've got a lot of bills.

Who do you hope we play first?

It doesn't matter
what I hope, mate.

A team ranked lower than us.

Japan Rugby Association,
Omura speaking.

The first game, South Africa.

Holy moly, now we're coming up
against the biggest and most

physical team in world rugby.

We've got no chance.

The first game you play the most
successful team in world cup history.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah good mate, very pleased.

And what are your plans leading in?

Make myself redundant.

It's true.

I want the players to
think for themselves.

They're the ones on
the field, not me.

Realistically, you have
no chance of winning.

Will you rest of good players
and focus on game two?

We haven't got enough good
players to rest any, mate.

People are already
saying that it could

be a 100 point difference.

I think, 145?

Listen mate, I don't know your
bosses is, but he's a liar.

You don't know him,
but you know that?

Well, he called me this morning
and told me you were smart.

Must be your boss, mate.

The more I thought about us
playing against South Africa,

the more I liked it.

So there it is, the
familiar physical dominance

of South Africa, just too
much more than New Zealand...

...All Blacks.

Springbok's winning
by 18 points to 5.

Hey, how about this one?

Looks good.

Do you want to do
some studying after?

No, I'm fine.

That's three nights in a
row we haven't studied.

Tomorrow.

You said that yesterday.

I got to go.

You can hardly walk.

I'll be fine.

He said he will pick me up.

Would you hire you as captain?

If you don't want me as
captain, just say it.

What did you learn at school?

You went to school, right?

I learned how to read.

Could've done that at home.

Why are we talking about this?

A person has to go to school.

What if you lived where
there were no schools?

I'd get by.

How?

What do you want to say, Eddie?

This country, it's
like a big school.

They want everybody to think
the same, take the same tests.

Want everybody to be nice.

There's nothing wrong with it.

There you go again.

I don't know what
we're talking about.

Responsibility, mate.

It's not something
that's given to you.

Here we go again, eh?

Something you take.

You take responsibility
for your family.

You take responsibility
for yourself.

How can you take
responsibility when

you're too worried what
everybody else thinks?

I would hire me as captain.

Why?

Because I care about
the team, that's why.

You hire you as captain so
you can lead them to win.

How's your leg, mate?

It's getting better.

Good.

We're only five minutes
from your place.

I'll catch you later, mate.

I can only take 31
players to the World Cup.

Some of our new
assistant coaches.

There's more to come.

You don't like what you
see, you change it, mate.

Your players only have half a body. Is this a school team?

You tell him he's here to
fix problems, not to be one.

Or he can grab a
baguette and go home.

He's lame and he's beating you.

Most of you need to
change your mindset

or go home and apologize to your
wives for wasting their time.

You choose to be here.

You choose this spot.

But who's at home
making it possible.

Then you put in this
bullshit effort.

Who's going home to
apologize to their partners?

Bring it down, bring it down.

Bring it down, bring it down.

Tell them they're
the worst group.

Can you do that a bit better?

I didn't say it like that.

You think the South Africans
are going to talk nice to them?

They won't.

Now say it properly or go home.

You are the worst group!

What is this?

A day in the park?

Did you bring your
picnic rug?

Eddie is the type of coach to put so much pressure on us.

Do you want me to say that?

Yes.

Did you bring your picnic rug?

So after a period
of time, you become

familiar with how
Eddie operates.

Go.

Focus on the ball.

OK.

Anyone that's worked with Eddie
knows that he doesn't sleep.

He works the hardest.

And that's why
he's always grumpy.

You been in Japan too long.

You care more about blending in,
bowing here, arigato there.

You're not Japanese, mate.

He actually said
that more than once.

Every time he said it, it really
used to make my blood boil.

He's a good
character, so I wanted

him to act himself and
not be someone else.

Because what sometimes happens
with foreign players in Japan,

they try to become Japanese.

How long to get
these guys ready?

JP thinks a year.

Steve?

The same.

Mark?

Two years.

You all right, mate?

What's the matter.

The players don't like you.

Did they like the
previous coach?

Very much.

And how many games did Japan
win at the last World Cup?

None.

This isn't social media, mate.

I don't give a shit about likes.

We're here to do a job.

If you don't like it,
you can bundy off.

You going to bundy off?

I don't know what that means.

It means quit, mate.

Are you going to quit?

Anything else?

JP thinks the camp's too
hard, 6:00 a.m. to 6:00

PM, six days a week.

The players will not last.

I didn't say anything
about 6:00 a.m.

I said 5:00 a.m.

We'll never be bigger or
stronger than South Africa,

but we will be
fitter and smarter.

We have to prepare to win.

There's a difference between
preparing and preparing

to win.

And so we focus very
much on controlling

on what we could
control and not worrying

about the uncontrollables.

I'm here to help.

Do we have anything
to talk about?

I don't like my coach.

Anything else?

I don't like Eddie.

Let me guess, you don't like your coach.

Did somebody tell you?

Rugby. That's all Eddie wants to focus on.

I think the only person you
can control is yourself.

So if people don't like the
way you operate, then so be it.

Eddie, sorry.

You need to plan
better, JR. Don't tell me

it's because of traffic, because
there's traffic every day.

I'll be there soon.

We've got a long drive
into the country today.

Well, that's if you
ever get here, mate.

What's wrong, mate?

Nothing, just-- I decided to
check the World Cup training

facility today.

You're not supposed
to be reading texts

while you're driving, mate.

Sorry.

You want me to read it?

No.

I mean, no, you're right.

That was stupid.

You're a bit
strange today, mate.

Everything OK?

Yep.

Eddie... There's something I need to say.

Stop the car, mate.

What?

Stop, stop the car.

Go back to where you came
from and take your stupid looking mum --

Eddie, come here, please.

This is for you.

It always gets up.

Very soon, a nice man from the
Returned Servicemen's League

is going to come
and cut our grass.

I want you to help
this kind man, OK?

Mom, what do you do when
you're scared of something?

When I'm scared, I close my eyes
and I think about my family.

And I think about the best
outcome in that moment.

No matter how scared I am,
I force myself to smile.

Then I open my eyes.

Is that all?

Yes.

The next time, when silly
boys call you names,

smile and say
something intelligent.

Silly people don't like that.

Good morning.

Hello, thank you for coming.

Ted, my husband,
he'd be so grateful.

This is number 34 right.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I thought he was going
to cut our grass.

Perhaps, he remembered that
he had something else to do.

Scrum, Randwick feed...

Well, look at you.

Everyone knows that
Asians can't play rugby.

Suit yourself, mate?

If we were real estate,
you'd be the cheapest house

on the street.

Even your teammates
think you're run down.

You bastard.

Get off.

Get a renovation, mate.

Thank you.

Eddie, elbows.

The real estate line was funny.

You were there?

Asians can't play?

What would have you said.

Life's not a popularity
contest, Eddie.

You do your best.

And if only you know
that, that's enough.

Did you do your best?

Chess originated in
6th century India.

Was coughing a
strategy back then?

No, but thinking was important.

Knowing your objective
is important.

So is maintaining your morale.

You having fun?

It's your move.

Are you going to cough?

Depends if you need me to.

Check--

It's like life, don't you think?

Do what it takes to
stay in the game.

You didn't cough.

You didn't think.

But he need to
find a new career.

Eddie, you're in hospital.

You had a stroke.

Bullshit.

I hope to play
with the All Blacks.

Forget the All Blacks.

How can you forget
those bastards?

When this drug wears
off, I'm out of here.

It's not a drug.

You need a lot of therapy.

Where's the therapy room?

Take this out.

Mr. Jones, nobody
should be here before 7.

I know.

You are not supposed
to be on that.

Mr. Jones, it's nearly midnight.

I'm nearly finished.

Eddie, I'm curious,
who inspires you?

My parents, mate.

Can I ask why.

My mother was born in
California, Japanese-American.

After Pearl Harbor,
she was interned.

I never heard her say a
bad word about anybody.

And your father?

People abused him because
his partner was Asian.

Then they abused him when
he came back from Vietnam.

I never heard him say a
bad word about anybody.

You mentioned Vietnam.

I heard you grew up in a
white society at the time.

How was that?

It was fine, mate.

Our job is to take care of rugby in this country.

I understand.

We need a new coach.

We already have a new coach.

And now Eddie's sick.

We have a caretaker coach.
It's only been a month.

Did you say that Eddie wants Michael Leitch as captain?
Because Hirose is a good captain.

I know but Eddie wants Michael.

At the last world cup, we had too many non-Japanese players.
The media attacked us.

It's not about the media.

Of course not, but Michael Leitch isn't Japanese,
and our coach isn't Japanese...

This is supposed to be a Japanese team.

Eddie's half-Japanese.

Half-Japanese doesn't count. He's Australian.

And Michael Leitch is?

Half Kiwi.

What's the other half?

He's half Fijian.
Why does half count now?

What happened to the good old days?

You mean when we lost by 145 points?

Please don't fire him.

Dear Eddie, I won't
write about your health,

because I know you'll
be taking care of that.

But perhaps you've had thoughts
about changing your career,

or maybe others
are suggesting it.

All those damn
experts don't know

what they're talking about.

What people do when
nobody's watching,

that's the key, Eddie.

So many people just give up.

They'll never know how close
they were to doing something

because we all need to push
through the mud of life

to find our gold.

Belief Eddie, it
fuels everything.

It washes away the mud
and brings clarity.

Slow, but always strong, Eddie.

Yukkuri

So many times I wanted
to quit the military,

but I didn't, which allowed
me to meet your mother.

Eddie, we just come
back from Scotland.

Yeah, I see.

You still need a coach?

Everybody supports you.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Happy thoughts, Michael.

Happy thoughts.

Great choice.

36 month lease, right?

I take it the agreement's in your name?

Mine.

We'll find another place.

That place is perfect.

Excuse me.

Do you have ID?

You checked me
before...

...do you remember?

Stay out of trouble.

Let's go.

He didn′t do anything wrong.
Why don′t you stop other people?

What's going on, Michael?

They didn't ask for my ID.

You never told me that
they checked you before.

It's fine.

We don't have to go to
my English school, OK?

It was a dumb idea.

Hey, it doesn't matter
what people say.

We'll never please everybody.

Welcome back, Eddie.

Yeah, good to be back.

How's things?

Goro needs to work harder.

Everyone's ready for you.

You stayed back after
your class to meet me.

Thank you.

I want you to think about your
study like a game of rugby.

Welcome back, Eddie.

Why Michael Leitch for captain?

He's his own man.

He'll make the right decisions.

We all have goals,
but sometimes it

feels like we're
getting nowhere.

Japan has an Australian coach and a
Fijian captain from New Zealand.

Is this good for Japan?

I think it's consistent with the
foreign flavor to your squad.

You've got a captain
who's not Japanese.

Someone just said he was Fijian.

I thought he was a Kiwi.

What's your point, mate?

Other times, you make
progress and you feel great...

...but it doesn't last long.

You've got a lot of
foreigners in your squad.

We've got less foreign born
players than other countries.

Not true.

I don't have all the answers,
but whatever your challenge

is, whether it's studying
English, or playing rugby,

the answer is always within you.

You should open your eyes
more than your mouth.

Samoa has more.

So does Tonga.

France has 10
foreign born players.

Australia nine.

And their captain was
born in Saudi Arabia.

But you only care
about attacking

what you think looks wrong.

So when everybody's
telling you what to do,

just be true to yourself and
do what's burning inside.

That way, you'll
always do right.

So let's talk about what most
people think looks wrong.

Michael Leach is black,
but he'll captain Japan.

And I wouldn't care if
he was purple, mate.

So you go write
that in your column,

that only 15 people read.

Thank you and good luck.

Anyone that's worked
with Eddie has

being sprayed at
least 1,000 times,

but Eddie, he has a genuine
care for people he loves.

Watch his job giant stride,
taking to the front,

as he faces the last blood bursting
furlong to the finishing place.

In rugby, I′ve had good time and bad time.
The good times are when people are supporting.

Anyone who's been with
Eddie have come out

better than they were before.

During the off season,
I want you to arrange

for me to meet Pep Guardiola.

He coaches Bayern Munich.

I also want to visit a
team in the Tour de France.

I want to see how they train.

We needed to take things as positives, not negatives,
and we needed to think about what we could do next.

It's hard work.

And then you meet
Eddie, and he just

puts it on a different level.

You don't know how to work
until you've met Eddie Jones.

How was Perth?

Very good.

The cyclists?

Tough, mate.

Good to be here, good
to see everybody back.

--A lot of good teams to
play and a lot of camps.

But let me tell you this,
how many times in your life

do you get a chance
to make history?

You do that by
beating South Africa.

How does it feel to know that
people think you're a joke?

Did you hear that laughter?

People think you're a joke.

And people in this
room have lost

their family homes, their
farms, have had them

washed away in the tsunami.

Some of you have
handicapped children,

and people laugh when you're
trying to do something

to help support your families.

Training, preparation, you need
to know that doing your best

will not be enough.

Doing your best only
keeps you with the pack.

When training finishes,
most of you vanish.

Is that your best?

Ask yourself, is that your best?

Roger Bannister,
all the experts said

it was impossible to break
the four minute mile.

He didn't give a shit
about what people said.

Instead, he tells everybody
he'll break the four minutes

and he gave them a
date and a place.

So he wakes up.

It's raining and windy.

But he knew it was only going
to take a half a percent

improvement, a half
a percent improvement

to do what nobody in the
world had ever done before.

So he runs, 3 minutes 59.

The next month, another
guy breaks four minutes.

The following year,
three people do it.

So what the hell
do experts know?

I'll tell you what
they know, nothing.

And that's a good thing.

Because all the experts
say you can't win.

We're going to hunt
these guys down

and they won't see us coming.

We're going to do everything
they don't want us to.

Our smaller size will
be our advantage.

They can't adapt.

They play one way.

We'll be able to play a
number of different ways.

If it's raining, if it's windy,
if it's dry, it won't matter.

Now people will
say you can't win.

A billion people thought he
couldn't do it, but he did.

So screw the experts.

He set a date and a place.

And ours is the 19th of
September, Brighton, England.

And we will win.

Let's go.

Chest up, think
faster guys.

Go, go, go.

South Africa think you're weak.

Work them hard, mate,
don't sugarcoat it.

I've seen every South African
lineup in the last eight years.

They've got nothing on us.

Stick to the plan.

You should be comfortable
being uncomfortable.

Move it. Lower, get
lower, lower, lower.

Lower.

That's the hardest
session I have ever seen.

Day one, 150.

Call them again.

Which part, mate?

All of it.

They're adults, not kids.

Keep them hydrated.

South Africa's going
to take them places

they've never been before.

If they're going to
break, let it happen here.

Everybody back with JP.

All right, let's go.

On 2, 1, 2, start.

He's gonna kill them.

He knows what he′s doing.

Goro..

During the last World
Cup, you got a phone

call to join the National team.

Told everybody the good
news, everybody celebrated.

Then they called
you an hour later,

tell you you're not needed.

Must have been disappointing.

You're a talented guy,
mate, but that's not enough.

This is your problem.

You fix this or you're going to
get another disappointing phone

call.

Every player that
had been in that camp

would have said it's the
hardest time of their life.

The training camp was so hard,
that I don′t even want to remember it.

Eddie made us train 4 times a day and almost every day.

Why do we have to train
every day, 5:00 a.m.?

Why are we doing this?

I think it really was...

hell.

We absolutely got flogged.

It′s really easy to give up, or quit
because you were told something is impossible.

There was no break from training at all.

It was a very, very
tough time, and the team

started to dissemble.

JR, you tell them that
they can't go on strike.

How many?

OK, I'll have a talk to him.

What's so important, mate?

You seriously don't know?

You're not the only people
in the world that finish

work in a bit of pain.

You ever worked in construction?

You guys are pampered
and you complain.

We'll have nothing left
in the tank, Eddie.

You'll be fine.

They busted me.

Some of the boys are
talking about walking away.

That's not my problem.

How is that not your problem?

I'm not on the field
against South Africa.

You think they're going
to take it easy on you.

This is bullshit.

You're listening to bullshit,
Leitch, that's the problem.

Eddie, we're training
eight hours a day.

I'm not happy about that either.

I wanted nine.

When people don't
take responsibility,

they make excuses, mate.

You're not going to have
anybody at training tomorrow.

That's not my problem.

Whatever you said, it worked.

All I'm hearing is complaining.

I don't care what
the board says.

You go back to your
rooms if you like.

Wait!

Somebody changed the board.
I saw it last night. It was full.

I saw it this morning, it said, ‶no training.″

Mate, I don't give a
shit about the board.

What's wrong with you guys?

We're so far behind
South Africa,

we can't afford to rest.

Are you telling me
you can't train?

He′s right.
We′ve got trainers who know what they′re doing.

We have to trust them.

We're going to be
playing South Africa.

We are.

We'll be the ones
who'll be embarrassing

our families, ourselves.

And I'm sick and
tired of getting

our asses kicked by good teams.

We need to work.

Goro, what do you want to do?

I wanna beat South Africa.

Anybody that doesn't want to
beat South Africa can leave.

Together, let's go, let's go.

Form a line, one three, 1, 2, 3.

Bring it in...

Very good.

Enjoy tonight.

Tomorrow we'll take
a walk together.

Then we'll make our
way to the airport.

1, 2, 3, History!

Go over it again.

From the hotel to the
ground in Brighton.

12 minutes by bus.

I booked a reserve bus in
case something happens.

The uncontrollables,
what are they?

Your weather and that.

What's the plan?

I'd meet with local police
about getting an escort

from the hotel to the ground.

And you'll provide all details
to the other staff members,

because--

I could get hit by a bus.

Mate, I don't think you will.

But if something does happen,
they won't call the game off.

That's a relief.

Took you 150 days to
make a joke, mate.

I wasn't joking.

Go get some rest.

Thanks, goodnight.

Hello.

Eddie Jones...

What's the matter?

Your father, he spoke of
you right up until the end.

He'll always be with you.

That's why we called you, Eddie.

I'll get a flight back tonight.

Don't you dare, young man...

...Your father didn't go
from mission to mission...

...when he was in the military
so that you could run away...

...from yours.

He served his country with pride...

...you stay there and do your job.

Losing a family member
is tough for anyone.

If they're sick
or old, you always

want an extra day with them, but
those things you can't control.

He heard yesterday.

Is he going home?

I look up as I walk,

So that tears won′t fall.

LRemembering those spring days,

But I am all alone tonight.

I look as I walk...

...so that the tears won′t fall.

Remembering those spring days...

...but I am all alone tonight.

Each headstone
represents a life.

Your lives are still ahead.

How will people remember you?

Enjoy your time here.

Remembering those autumn days...

...but I am all alone tonight.

Sadness hides in the shadow of the stars...

...sadness hides in the shadow of the moon.

My father's favorite Japanese
word was "yukkori"

take your time--

Yukkori, When we see
things against South Africa,

it's your call.

It's your game, mate.

Don't blend in.

Make your brother proud.

I look as I walk...

...so that the tears won′t fall...

...though the tears well as I walk...

...but I am all alone tonight...

Eddie, you're one day away
from playing South Africa.

And they've picked their
most experienced side ever,

with 880 test caps.

Big day, mate.

We've heard that you've
just come off a camp that

lasted for 150 days.

Was it really that long?

Yeah, something like that.

I can't count that high, mate.

Well, thanks for your
time, Eddie, and good luck.

Thank you, mate.

Leitch-- that was crap, mate.

It's embarrassing.

You kept talking to the
media, so I started things.

I said I'd be 10 minutes.

I was seven.

We're playing South
Africa tomorrow.

We've dropped more
balls in five minutes

than we did in five months.

No wonder people
are saying we're

going to lose by 80 points.

We're fine, Eddie, go.

From what I saw,
I don't think so.

We're good.

Go.

Michael, I called your room.

Are you OK?

What if we do lose
by 80, or 100?

Don't say that.

Eddie's shown us
every tape on them.

We know every player,
their nicknames,

the way they run,
tackle, line out, scrum.

But for every player on
our team, they're better.

You should sleep, Michael, OK?

Just be you.

That's the most important thing.

Thank you.

I'll see in the stands, eh?

What if we do lose by 80, 100?

I was just asking a question.

You don't get it.

I was just asking
a question, Eddie?

You don't take fear home, mate.

Even if you have to
lie through your teeth.

It's late, Eddie.

Every big game, we send our
supporters home as losers.

Are you listening?

They shuffle along.

They got their heads down.

They've just wasted
half their weekend.

But they come back.

Week after week, they come back.

You owe them.

What about you?

I'm not on the field.

In every position, South
Africa are better than us.

That's true.

But there's no way
they're fitter.

They're stronger.

We're more unified.

They're faster, more experience.

I don't give a damn.

And neither should you.

Every second, every play,
we play for each other

and our supporters.

Get some rest, mate.

Mom, what do you when
you're scared of something?

Perfect weather and a capacity
crowd here in Brighton.

And we are moments
away from kickoff.

And on face value, this
is a classic mismatch.

South Africa, the team
with the best strike rate

in World Cup history
against Japan,

the team with the
worst overall record.

Just one win from 24 attempts.

Eddie, thank you for everything.

Thank you, you made it possible.

Good luck.

Thankyou.

It's time.

You gotta stay with
them, do what they hate.

You give more than you ever had.

You do that, you win this game.

Play our way, Japan way.

Let's go.

Match four of Rugby
World Cup 2015.

And this is Tui, the
number eight forward.

And he is immediately
taken heavily

down the Japanese goal line.

And Japan, immediately
under pressure.

Goromaru over halfway
to Kirchner..

Kirchner sizes up.

It hasn't been a fast
chase with Japan.

They found space.

Japan under pressure here.

...du Plessis...

First scrum, so
important for Japan.

Japan won...

Here we go, Goromaru...

Oh, he threw the dummy...

South Africa off
side and a first shot

at points in the game for Japan.

Goromaru puts Japan
ahead by 3 today.

Calling on the Japanese to
do a lot of passing now.

Slowly, but surely, they
encroach on the Japanese goal line.

South Africa controlling,
...has it.

That's what they are so good at.

The power to match them up front.

Tapped back by Habana.

Mvovo...

Another penalty,
another shot at goal.

Very uncharacteristic, this.

You can only tackle for
so long against this sort

of onslaught.

There's a gap.

Here's Matfield and Berger.

Here it is now
for-- no, not quite.

But here it is.

Oh.

Tatekawa

Japan trailing 7-3.

Nice little kick.

...they slipped it away nicely.

The back's joining in.

It's a 10 man maul.

South Africa holding on grimly.

The Japanese heads
towards the posts.

Can they do it?

Oh, yes, it looks
like the skipper.

Goromaru now to
squeeze it out to 3.

This is brilliant support
play for the Japanese defense.

Jesse Kriel to Tui.

Sa'u stuck with him.

They've worked so
hard on countering

the South African
maul, but they've

got a problem here again.

The Japanese desperate
to hold on here

as South Africa
apply the screws.

Japan's defense is
staying composed

and holding their formation.

Big tackle.

And that sums up Japan's
performance in the first half.

You just went toe to toe
with the team with the best

record in World Cup history.

Are they supermen?

I saw them bleeding,
hunched over, sucking air.

They're spent.

They're trying to do their best.

But we know that's
not good enough.

They're out on their feet.

They're fatigued,
but they're winning.

Goro, we need those kicks.

How do your families
feel right now?

How do your supporters feel?

We're not here to be
valiant losers, not today.

Those days are over.

This is when you
leave everything

on the field, everything
you've got and more.

Find that half a percent more.

Our finishers are
ready to go on.

We keep playing fast.

We keep doing what they hate.

And we don't stop.

You deserve this.

Your families deserve this.

Don't let them down.

40 minutes to make history.

It's no longer about you.

You're out there
for other people.

Play with pride.

You get this done.

Penatly is on
against South Africa.

...within
penalty range.

And a chance for Japan
now to hit the lead.

We're just outside the 22.

He's a giraffe.

...a human one.

Now here's an opportunity
for du Plessis..

De Jager goes again.

Oh-- oh, no--

Tanaka, good
attacking position.

Try and hold him up here.

And the Boks are back
in the lead by three.

As you say, a monumental
upset is in the offing

as Matsushima shows dash,
in courage, and bravery.

Strauss straight through.

He can't stop him.

17 minutes remaining.

South Africa looking to see
if they can get back to back

tries here to put
Japan out of touch.

There's space..

Now they go away
with a ....

Sa'u

Still good enough
to win the lineup.

It's been very good,
the Japanese lineup.

Here we go, Matsushima!

Oh, yeah-- huge trouble here.

Cut down just before the line.

The upset is still on for Eddie
Jones and the brave Blossoms.

South Africa has it by 3.

Well read by Goromaru.

3 on 3.

Japan looking for
an historic win

and they have a head of speed.

They're being tested here.

There's the step.

Dangerous.

Broadhurst.

So close.

He's been held up.

Now they go into
driving maul.

The whole team's there.

They're calling for the drive.

13 seconds to go.

I need you to take the kick.

Do they go for the draw, Joel,
or do they go for the win.

Take the 3.

Wow, he's virtually
declined the draw.

He says we are here to win.

This is now the biggest
scrum of the game.

Japan still have it.

Leitch the captain....

...trying to give the
Japanese this monumental upset.

It's tough going for Japan.

There goes Leitch.

He's strong.

Tatekawa

Mafi

Here we go.

The 145-17 nightmare is over!

Our eyes have seen the glory.

It's a rugby miracle.

We're a proud-- we're a very
proud rugby playing nation.

And I think no one expected
the Springboks to come unstuck

against a team from Japan.

I mean, that's the reality.

Not only in rugby, generally it's very easy to give up.

But what you get from giving up is regret.

If you commit to a challenge,
there is a power developing inside of you.

It's something that inspires and invigorates people.

This enables you to exceed people's expectations,
which is what happened in the South Africa game.

We're-- we often take
things for granted,

is probably one
way to look at it.

But certainly, on
a day like that,

to lose to one of the minnows
of world rugby was devastating.

It was completely unexpected.

And as great as it was
maybe for the game,

and for the World Cup,
for us, as South Africans,

it was a sporting catastrophe.

So the decision not to kick
the goal was a brave decision.

And we were pleased that
Leitch made the decision.

At the exact moment,
I was obviously upset.

But we backed him
to make decisions.

To take the kick and
miss, that would haunt me

for the rest of my life.

But to challenge the
win, go for the try,

and create new history,
that was one of the biggest

decisions of my life.

Particularly in sport, you
know, we all chat about players

being confidence players.

I mean, every single
sportsperson in the world

has is a confidence player.

If you don't believe,
you are never

going to be able to achieve.

Deep, deep down
inside, you've got to--

you've got to find that
ability, that strength,

to go and play the
game, to go and do

something spectacular,
to go and do

the incredible, the unexpected.

And for me, it's really simple.

It is all about believing.

If you don't believe,
you don't have a hope.

I didn't play against South Africa. A lot of people think
that was a tough time for me,

but I was given a role to perform for the team,
and I did my job, so it was great.

I will never forget that.
It's my best memory.

I'll never forget that day for the rest of my life.

Eddie Jones and his
Japanese team believed.

You know, they worked to that
one focused goal for so long.

That instilled the belief.

It instilled something
deep down inside

that comes from
being so very focused

on one mission, one purpose.

And that ultimately
is what enabled them.

And to the point,
it is absolutely

about the drivers of belief
that make it all happen.

Well, to me, the most amazing
thing of the World Cup

was after we beat South
Africa, the next game

we played against Scotland.

30 million people in Japan
watched on television.

That's one in every
four people in Japan.

And so the effect
that one sporting team

can have on the
nation in engendering

a sense of optimism,
it's a fantastic thing

that the players
did for the country.

And I think the country will
always be proud of them.

Other sports, these
upsets happen.

In Rugby Union, they don't.

But this Japanese
team found a way

to cause the greatest
upset in sporting history.
