Which for anyone wondering, can be obtained by: Scoring 4 tries - 1 bonus Losing within 7 point/ score - 1 bonus. So you could lose a game 35-33 but still go away with 2 points; the equivelant of a draw... Unless... You get one or the other - ie lose by 7 or get 4 tries; can anyone clarify? Which is why England have 5 points and Japan have four

Just back from Twickenham, France v Italy.
Not the most entertaining game but a great occasion and atmosphere.
It was like a home game for the French, they were everywhere.
La Marseillaise before KO was genuinely stirring and I say that as a very red-blooded Englishman.
Watching Japan beat SA on the concourse was amazing - beer flying everywhere when they scored.
Lots of lovely totty on display.
Until tonight, I hadn't been to Twickenham since Erica Roe got her baps out 33 years ago.
It's an amazing sports arena now, way better than Wembley for noise.
Really enjoyed it and will be watching the rest of the WC with interest...

Which is why England have 5 points and Japan have four But Japan only scored 3 tries, as did RSA, no? My point is had South Africa scored 4 tries and lost by no more than 7 points, would they have got both bonus points? Or can you only get one of the 2 on offer in that situation? I'm just thinking hypothetically and the impact it could have on final standings.

So... The last time Scotland scored a try in a WC was quite some time ago, but tonight they smash a few past Japan?!
Crazy...

I'm with pearo on this. As its the world cup i thought i'd give it a bash..How long did the England game take...with all the bind/set rigmarole!!! I get slated by mates at work for loving NFL, but i never realised that union had got to this stage (assuming this is not the norm?). TMO was another pain in the arse also. I'll carry on as its the WC and you cant beat a good upset like Japan or the faces of the Namibian players when they scored a try against NZ (and the haka is still spine tingling to watch)...League is still better though.

Even the players don't understand what's a penalty or not. And don't get me started on that daft prick, William Windsor,the plastic Villa fan sitting there cheering the Welsh on!!!
