Tremendous win for Japan v Ireland. Didn't see the game but the radio said the result wasn't a fluke and Japan thoroughly deserved to win.

For such a big rugby country, Ireland have a mediocre World Cup record.
They've never won a knock-out match and they've never won a game from more than 3 points down.

I said it before the tournament that they wouldn't be a factor because they, like Wales, rely on their home stadium and fans too much. The neutrality of the World Cup always finds them out.

Great game! Wales did well to hold on! What's with the scrums though? It just took about 4 minutes to take one!

I didn't really want either side to win, but I wanted the Welsh to lose more than the Aussies. Good game but depressing result with the Welsh hanging on for the win !

My part of Wales was particularly quiet today. Made shopping in the local Coop in Tywyn almost a joyous experience. Had the place to myself. I find myself agreeing with your sentiments above. 😉🏉🏴

I've recently moved to Wales and so was very pleased they won, its wise when moving to another country to integrate with their culture. I will be even more pleased if England win the tourno, but I'll have to go back over the border to watch the final to avoid clashing with my new countrymen

Scotland currently closing in on a victory over Samoa - latest score 27-0 Telegraph report today The French Rugby Federation (FFR) has been left red-faced after announcing the call-up of an injured player to its Rugby World Cup squad. The FFR initially announced on Sunday morning that La Rochelle tighthead prop Uini Atonio would be joining the squad as an injury replacement for Demba Bamba, who has been ruled out of the tournament with a thigh injury. (I thought it said Demba Ba just for a minute, so it would have to have been a knee injury wouldn't it ?) But French administrators quickly discovered that 32-cap Atonio suffered a neck injury during La Rochelle's loss to Bayonne on Saturday, and would not be fit to take part in France's attempt to qualify from Pool C.

Scotland v Japan is shaping up to be an almighty battle. Shame the winner will end up losing to New Zealand in the next game mind.

Hopefully England are getting all their errors out of the way in this match.
The ball appears to be a bar of soap and their kicking has been very mediocre.
Argentina appear to be flagging half with only 14 men and it looks like we will now begin to run up a score but I can't imagine any of the top teams are overly worried with what they have seen so far.

It took some time for England to get going with the Argies really committed early on. The sending off helped and we now look comfortable but really somewhat unconvincing. Lots of errors, handling errors, and inexplicably Owen Farrell has missed all 4 kicks so far. We really need to up our game in the competition from now on or we won't make it past the quarter final.

Maybe the shoulder to the head in the 1st half dislodged Farrell's gyroscope and he has had it reset at half-time.

Loads of England subs - taken the foot off the gas.
Oh Argies have just scored a try.
England have gone flat.
Overall a disappointing performance, not anything to worry the top teams.
