You don't normally think of Rugby fans as romantics but it appears they are, as 88% of all bets on the semi-final against South Africa have been placed on the host nation Japan at 9/2.

'Japan are all the rage and if they can pull off another shock result then they will cost the industry a seven figure sum,' said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.

In the other semi-finals England (1/3), New Zealand (2/9) and Wales (4/11) are all very strong favourites.
