    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Jones, Japan head coach:

    "Yeah, I've always spoken about the Japan way, and we've played rugby that is uniquely Japanese - and one would hope that the legacy of this period of time will be that Japan keeps playing its own brand of rugby."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Jones, Japan head coach:

    "Someone like (rugby player Ayumu) Goromaru, four years ago was an average top league player, and now he's one of the most recognised players in the world, and a number of clubs are trying to secure his services, around the world. And he's changed, the biggest change in him is going from having a fixed mindset, to having a growth mindset. So, everyone's capable of doing it. But harder to change the institutions."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Jones, Japan head coach:

    "You gotta remember, at the next World Cup, sides are not going to take Japan lightly."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Eddie Jones, Japan head coach:

    "Yeah they thought they were going to have an easy game winning by 80 points, like it happened at every other World Cup, and the next World Cup teams won't take that liberty with Japan. That's why its so important that Japan keeps improving."
