(CNN)Japan caused one of the greatest upsets in Rugby World Cup history by beating two-time champion South Africa 34-32 in the opening Pool B match on Saturday.

Karne Hesketh crossed out wide in the fourth minute of time added on to clinch Japan's second victory in tournament history, and first since beating fellow minnow Zimbabwe in 1991.

"The whole crowd was behind Japan. When South Africa gave a penalty and we decided to go for it, that's when we finally got their respect," Hesketh, who scored with his first touch of the game, said after the final whistle.
