Eddie Jones: 'I want Japan to be team of the tournament'

Japan coach Eddie Jones warns Scotland that his team want to be the "team of the tournament" after their shock 34-32 win over South Africa at the Rugby World Cup.

Japan coach Eddie Jones has warned Scotland that his team want to be more than "one-hit wonders" after their 34-32 win over South Africa at the Rugby World Cup.

Wing Karne Hesketh crossed in the final minute to win the Pool B encounter in Brighton on Saturday, a result which sent shockwaves across the sport.

Jones told reporters: "We have two objectives - reach the quarter-finals and be team of the tournament. With that in mind we have made a successful start. We did not come here to be one-hit wonders."

The Brave Blossoms face Scotland on Wednesday in their second match, which takes place at the Kingsholm Stadium in Gloucester.
