The Brighton Miracle
Inspired by true events, the story begins in 2012 with Japanese rugby officials dwelling on a humiliating anniversary, a 145-17 defeat by the New Zealand All Blacks in the 1995 World Cup. Officials question their decision to appoint Australian, Eddie Jones, to coach their national team for the 2015 World Cup. Half-Australian and half-Japanese, Jones plans to defy convention in order to put a stop to Japan being the laughing stock of world rugby, but his relentless way will push everybody to the brink of despair, including staff, assistant coaches, and team manager, Omura (JR).
