George Gregan: Japan optimistic about Rugby World Cup chances cnn.com

(CNN) If Japan was to lift the Rugby World Cup on November 2 it would constitute one of the greatest shocks in sporting history.
Combined with a 30-10 win over Russia in its opening game this year, one former World Cup winner senses an uplift in confidence from Japanese rugby fans.
"They feel they can win," former Australian scrumhalf and captain George Gregan told CNN's Alex Thomas in Tokyo.
Gregan, who is the Wallabies' most capped player with 139 appearance, was integral to Australia's 1999 World Cup triumph.
He's coached in Japan, he's coached South Africans, he's coached Aussies.
