Japan's rugby Blossoms aren't just the bravest folks at the world cup, they're also highly likely to be the healthiest.
Japan tops the leaderboard of a World Cup of Health compiled by British GP Dr Wayne Osborne and published on the website treated.com.
Dr Osborne compared health-related data from all 20 nations at the world cup, ranking them over four key categories - weight management, life span, alcohol and tobacco consumption and health services.
Japan came out tops in weight management and the provision of health services to see off Italy and Canada in the overall standings.
Curiously, Japan's impressive healthiness didn't translate into the area that would appear to be most important - life span. Whilst Japanese people have the longest life expectancy of 84.46 years, its score is dragged down by having the highest suicide rate and fifth-worst air quality score.
Interestingly, Namibia and South Africa have the lowest suicide rates but also shockingly lows life expectancies - 49.56 years for South Africa and 51.85 years for Namibia.
New Zealand scores well on life span (2nd) and health service provision (8th) but we are dragged down by our poor weight management (17th) and fondness for booze and tobacco (15th) for an overall placing of eighth.
Three of the bottom four spots on the ladder go to our Pacific neighbours, with Samoa (20th) , Tonga 19th and Fiji 17th.
