FT Japan 38 - 19 Samoa
Try! 85 min: Japan 36-19 Samoa (Kotaro Matsushima) Deep, deep into added-on time and Matsushima is over in the corner! Japan have the bonus point! That is incredible. They were thrown a lifeline from Samoa’s scrum, won their own scrum, and span the ball out left to the corner. Matsushima has deserved that try for his quite sensational work in attack and defence. Tamura hits a post with the conversion, but who cares? Japan have a bonus point. That dodgy bonus point could turn out to be hugely important. ![]() | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well played England credit where credits due, difficult group to negotiate with Argentina and France in it but they've looked much better than them
Who so they play in the quarters (most likely opponents)? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Group winner likely to play Wales, runner up likely to play Australia.
Probably want to be the runner up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Unless Wales lose to Fiji (unlikely), winner of England’s group will play Australia, and then probably winner of NZ / Ireland
Runner up will play Wales then probably SA/Japan, unless the Scots can beat Japan by at least 8 points. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
By:
Doesn't matter who they play then really
Australia the most likely preference? but I can see Australia beating us anyway Wales always have the knack of beating us the bas*ards | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

New Zealand 71-9 Namibia: All Blacks win at Rugby World Cup
World champions New Zealand stretched out to a comprehensive 62-point winning margin over lowly Namibia, but only after the underdogs had held them up with a brave first-half display. With 35 minutes gone, Namibia, ranked 23rd in the world, were within one point of the three-time winners. But the All Blacks were in clinical mood in the second half, finishing with 11 tries. New Zealand will top Pool B if they beat Italy next weekend. That would set up a quarter-final against the runners-up of Pool A, which is boiling down to a three-way fight between Japan, Ireland and Scotland. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

FT: France 23-21 Tonga
Chris Ashton Sale Sharks and England winger on BBC Radio 5 Live Tonga lack finishing ability in Test match rugby but credit to them. They were almost there but just didn't quite have enough. France's set-piece looked at odds and ends throughout. The scrum didn't do well and England will be licking their lips. This World Cup England's scrum and set-piece has been playing with real force and France will be in a for a long weekend against them. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Argentina finished their World Cup with a bonus-point win over the USA as they came third in Pool C and confirmed a spot at the 2023 tournament. The Pumas, who have failed to reach the knockout stages for the first time since 2003 after defeats by France and England, crossed for seven tries. Joaquin Tuculet scored a first-half double after Nicolas Sanchez's opener. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pool Matches
Delayed Matches Where a pool Match cannot be started at the scheduled time, it will be considered delayed. Decisions on the delay of Matches will be taken as early as possible on the Match day and be communicated to Teams by the Match Commissioner. Cancelled Matches Where a pool Match cannot be commenced on the day in which it is scheduled, it shall not be postponed to the following day, and shall be considered as cancelled. In such situations, the result shall be declared a draw and Teams will be allocated two Match points each and no score registered. For the avoidance of doubt, no bonus points will be awarded. Abandoned Matches Where a pool Match is stopped following commencement, and cannot be completed the same day, it will not be rescheduled to the following day, and will be considered as abandoned. In such situations, the following procedures shall apply: Where a Match has to be abandoned either at half time or at any time during the second half, the score at the time of the abandonment shall be considered as final and used to determine the result of the Match. Where a Match has to be abandoned at any time during the first half the result shall be declared a draw for Match points purposes, however each Team will keep its score at the time of the abandonment. Any bonus points for scoring four tries secured at the time of the abandonment are also retained by the Teams involved in abandoned pool Matches. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Full-time Scotland 61-0 Russia
Ruthless. Resounding. Reassuring. That was an absolute turkey shoot for Scotland against a clearly tired Russian team in their final World Cup match. Gregor Townsend rested many of his biggest hitters, but boy did those selected deliver. Nine tries scored, zero conceded, and the perfect confidence boost heading into Sunday's monumental showdown with Japan. George Horne scored a hat-trick, Adam Hastings got two, while George Turner, Tommy Seymour, John Barclay and Stuart McInally all chipped in. Job well and truly done. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

FT: Wales 29-17 Fiji Wales advance towards last eight
Wales have racked up a third win in succession from their Rugby World Cup Pool campaign, with Josh Adams scoring three tries in a 29-17 win. They have just minnows Uruguay to play before the quarter-finals. It is likeliest that they will play France in the last eight. Before then they will have injury updates to make on Jonathan Davies and Dan Biggar, both of whom left the fray early today. The big news from the rest of the tournament is the fact that organisers have called a media conference for tomorrow to discuss the impact Typhoon Hagibis could have on the tournaments. There are reports that England v France and Japan v Scotland could be cancelled or moved. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

England's Rugby World Cup Pool C match against France on Saturday has been called off because of Typhoon Hagibis.
World Rugby is expected to provide official confirmation of the cancellation at 04:00 BST on Thursday. Hagibis is moving towards Japan and expected to make landfall on Saturday. England were due to meet France in Yokohama. There is no news yet on Scotland's Pool A match against Japan, which is scheduled to take place in the same stadium on Sunday. If the Scotland-Japan match was to be cancelled, under tournament rules Gregor Townsend's side are likely be knocked out of the World Cup. Cancelled matches are declared a draw with both sides awarded two points each. England and France have already qualified for the quarter-finals and their match was due to decide top spot in Pool C. The cancellation means Eddie Jones' side, who lead the French by two points, will progress as winners and face a probable quarter-final against Australia, with Wales expected to top Pool D and therefore play France. Scotland are third in Pool A on 10 points with leaders Japan on 14 and need to beat the hosts to go through, potentially relying on bonus points. If second-placed Ireland beat Samoa in Fukuoka on Saturday, a weather-enforced two-point haul would mean Scotland finish third in Pool A and go out. It has been suggested Scotland's match with Japan could delayed by 24 hours, even though that would be against tournament rules. |
