Rugby World Cup quarter-final spot gives fans reason to smile after Typhoon Hagibis bbc.com

Japan's stunning World Cup victory over Scotland to reach the quarter-finals for the first time is the ray of joy the country needs after Typhoon Hagibis.
Japan may have qualified for a first World Cup quarter-final by beating Scotland but their fans long ago sealed their place as the best in the tournament.

It has not been an easy 48 hours for the country. Japan's biggest typhoon in 61 years tore through several regions on Saturday, leaving at least 23 people dead.

But on Sunday morning, the skies had cleared, the sun shone and Japan showed the resilience it takes to live in a country constantly battered by natural disasters.
