Japan knocked Scotland out of the Rugby World Cup as the country looked to put Typhoon Hagibis behind them.

At least 23 people are dead, while thousands more have been evacuated, with the storm one of the most ferocious weather events in the country's recent history.

A further 16 people are missing and at least 149 are injured, with officials still trying to determine the total number of casualties.

In more inconsequential matters on the pitch, the Brave Blossoms beat Scotland 28-21 to provide some much-needed hope for the country - sealing their first-ever World Cup quarter-final place.

The quarter-finals situation

So, we now know all of the quarter finals and who will be playing against whom.

But when are they and where will the games be taking place?

FULL-TIME! Japan 28-21 Scotland

It’s all over! Incredible from Japan! They go through and Scotland are dumped out of the World Cup.

What a match in Yokohama. Incredible.

Try as they might, Scotland cannot breach this Japanese defence again.

The Brave Blossoms are living up to their name as the Scots hit a wall of red and white again and again.

Finn Russell is trying to work his magic and Stuart Hogg is getting involved, too. But Japan are holding firm.

Just over five minutes left here in Yokohama.

TRY! Japan 28-21 Scotland (Zander Fagerson)

The game has completely broken up and Zander Fagerson is the beneficiary.

Scotland bulldoze their way through the middle of the park and following a series of quality offloads, Jamie Ritchie lifts the ball into Fagerson’s path just 10 metres out and the replacement trots through for another try.

Finn Russell adds the extras and they are now just seven behind. It couldn’t happen, could it?

TRY! Japan 26-14 Scotland (WP Nel)

Well, could that be the start of something? Some lovely build-up play there, largely thanks to a darting run from Stuart Hogg.

They calmly go through the phases and take themselves up to the five-metre line.

WP Nel looks, picks and dives. An easy conversion follows from Greig Laidlaw.

TRY! Japan 28-7 Scotland (Kenki Fukuoka)

And that try has almost consigned Scotland to their fate.

Kenki Fukuoka strips the ball from a Scotland player in a tackle in the middle of the park, amazingly manages to catch it before it touches the ground and then sprints 50 metres to the line!

That’s the bonus point in the bag for Japan and now Scotland have it all to do here. They need their own bonus point and to win by more than seven.

TRY! Japan 21-7 Scotland (Kenki Fukuoka)

That is another absolute beaut of a try! And it puts Japan one point away from a bonus point in Yokohama.

A delightful chip over the top is placed perfectly with Stuart Hogg unable to get across in time. Wing Fukuoka leaps and collects and runs in to make it three tries on the stroke of half time.

Yutaka Nagare kicks the conversion. That’s 21 points to seven.

Johnny Gray flies into a tackle with Japanese hooker Shota Horie.

The Scot’s head collides with the Japanese No.2 and blood pores from the latter’s head.

There is a conversation to be had over the legalities of the hit, with a head-on-head collision having taken place.

But Ben O’Keefe says it is a natural incident which has occurred and there is no sending off or sin binning.

Horie shakes it off and carries on.

TRY! Japan 14-7 Scotland (Keita Inagaki)

Incredible from Japan, truly incredible. The initial break comes from Matsushima and it takes Japan up into the 22.

They throw it out into midfield and they manage to break the line and, despite the tackle, prop forward Keita Inagaki is on hand to receive the offload and touch down under posts.

Game on!

TRY! Japan 7-7 Scotland (Kotaro Matsushima)

What a try! That is superb from Japan!

Timothy Lafaelli receives the ball on the blind side and ships out a flat pass to Kenki Fukuoka, who breaks his tackle on the wing.

Fukuoka manages a brilliant offload to Korato Matsushima and he runs in from 40 metres out!

Yu Tamura adds two more to level the scores.

  • Share

WP Nel is adjudged not to have used his arms in the tackle and Ben O’Keefe raises his arm to award Japan the penalty just over 40 metres out.

Yu Tamura steps up, but cannot slot it between the uprights. A chance to close the gap goes begging.

  • Share

Some lovely, neat play from Japan drives them up into the Scottish 22. Scrum-half Yutuka Nagare and fly-half Yu Tamura especially slick in their distribution.

But Jamie Ritchie steals it superbly well and Scotland can clear. On second look, he might have been a bit lucky, but Scotland needed that to stop the Japanese momentum, great work from the openside.

TRY! Japan 0-7 Scotland (Finn Russell)

Hogg puts a little chip into the corner and Darcy Graham wrestles with Yu Tamara for the ball. The Scots somehow manage to win it back at the breakdown, however and they are in the Japanese 22.

They set it up with a couple of short runs off Greig Laidlaw, but Finn Russell goes blind and hands off his opposite number for the try!

A breathless start in Yokohama. Japan make a 60-yard break before Tommy Seymour is called into a superb recovering tackle.

But it’s Japan in the ascendancy in these early stages and the crowd are roaring them on.

Scotland mange to get some respite through a penalty at the breakdown and Stuart Hogg sends it down into the Japanese half.
