The film adaptation of the biggest ever Rugby World Cup upset premieres in Tokyo in Japan tonight.

TVNZ News reports the Brighton Miracle centres around Japan's famous 34‑32 victory over South Africa in the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England with Kiwi actor Temuera Morrison taking the role of coach Eddie Jones.
