Japan's Rugby World Cup win against South Africa to be made into a movie - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/45732512

I wonder which Australian stadium will stand in for the Amex[emoji848]

Easily forgotten that it was one of the greatest sporting upsets in history.

In front of a full crowd at the AMEX.

Fantastic match that was, just bloody wish I was there to see it. Amazing just seeing stunned faces in the crowd a few people crying as well.

I like the working title: 'The Brighton Miracle', it'll sound better than whatever corny name they come up with.

Never forget that - I was lucky enough to be in the crowd that day. It was only afterwards though that I really began to appreciate what a big deal it was in terms of sporting history.

Bloody amazing day at the Amex, total humiliation for the Boks

There's some events where I think it's impossible for film makers to make it any more dramatic than the original moment, and this is one of them. Still, I shall watch with interest!

Listened to the game on the way back from Leeds I think it was. Amazing scenes.

They'll do well to create the pan shot of the West Stand Lower (South End) at full time because when I turned round there were 3-4000 Japanese fans ALL in tears. People will think that's fiction but it was absolutely true. Up there with the greatest sporting moments. Cameras will have to roll at the Amex - no substitutions allowed.

I spent much of the lunchtime at the beach fanzone that day watching (I think) an Ireland game beforehand, there were loads of japanese and springbok fans there prior to getting bused up to the Amex for the game. I ended up watching it in the Font & Firkin, and WHAT a game that was.

The bravery of the Japanese team, having the Springboks pegged back under the north stand posts in the final play, the final seconds of the match, yet refusing to kick for goal and steal a draw, instead plugging away manfully before FINALLY getting over the line for a try and victory (sorry for the spoiler). I'm not even much of a rugby fan, but that was as thrilling a climax to a sporting event as I've seen. Everyone in the bar was absolutely WILLING them over that line.

 

[DavidRyder]

What other sporting events should have made it to film but never did, NSCers?

 

[Stat Brother]

They better not miss out the elderly Japanese fella who was a FKW, including gumshield.

LEGEND.

I always thought our war years, would make a great film, in the style of Brassed off.
Plucky bunch of dedicated supporters of a, let’s face it,pretty crap lower league unfashionable football team, take on flint hearted,Northern, money grabbing millionaire and his performing monkey.

It would have them weeping in the aisles.

Listened to the game on the way back from Leeds I think it was. Amazing scenes.

Wolves away, 0-0 draw - Hemed missed a penalty.

The trip was worth it just to see my mate try to headbutt a full can of beer flat as our train crawled through the midlands.

In the scene featuring Japan's press reception in the music room of the Royal Pavilion where Eddie Jones is interviewed for the Rugby World Cup website by someone who doesn't know the first thing about rugby, that will be me that Brad Pitt is playing.

 

[portslade seagull]

Does that mean they will need 24k extras for the crowd ??
