Brazil fill stands with pride to kick rugby's carnival up a notch

Seeing the history makers on biggest stage sends fans home happy as South Africa show no mercy in 66-6 win
In certain other sports, Brazil's absence from any World Cup tournament would be regarded as downright bizarre. It's not quite like that in rugby, and their women's 15s team created history simply by running on to the turf.
The first Brazil team to qualify for a men's or women's Rugby World Cup had played only 16 times before this, winning five matches, including a playoff against Colombia that secured qualification. Their prize, if you can call it that, was an intimidating opener against the famously powerful South Africa.
"Our first Brazil fan of the day," one of the friendly volunteers outside Northampton train station declared just before 10am, as supporters began to drift from the platforms towards the venue. There would be more.
The throb of drums was audible approaching the stadium, too.
