Japan and Ireland have made it the Rugby World Cup Quarter Finals. Japan face South Africa at 11.15 am on Sunday and Ireland face World Cup holders New Zealand on Saturday also at 11.15am.

Henry McKean was in studio with us to talk about the craic and the atmosphere he experienced in Japan.

Henry says it was spectacular, overwhelming, euphoric, relaxed but complex, busy but also beautiful. It blew his mind. McKean has travelled across Asia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand but never to Japan. There was always a threat of a Typhoon but it missed Henry, but not so lucky for the many that died over the weekend or games that were called off. The super Typhoon Hagibis showed the resilience of the Japanese people.
