      England didn't look too good. Fijian rugby is fun to watch but their technique is so far behind the bigger teams.

      Can't wait for Ireland to get going COYBIG!

      Only seen the highlights but agree that it is great yo watch sides like Fiji.

      A number 11 who looks like a second row forward and takes kicks.

      What's not to like about that.

      My goodness - switched on South Africa v Japan 45 minutes in and Japan are not letting South Africa away. Amazingly it's 29-29 with 10 minutes to go!

      That was unbelievable. As andy said above that is what sport is all about. Even for those not interested in rugby, that would have been something to behold! Even more delighted it being Japan - seeing as they're holding the next world cup it can only do great wonders for the sport ahead of 2019.

      Another list of injuries for Wales, I wonder if they have been cursed.

      Hope other referees follow suit after Wayne Barnes didn't take any of New Zealand's blatant cheating. Good on him.

      Finally watched the Japanese win against the Springboks. Wow. Even knowing the result, I felt nervous watching those final few minutes and celebrated their winning try as if it was going on live. What a fantastic team effort from Japan! A true inspiration to all other so called minor teams in the competition.

      Would be great if they could beat Scotland and take a step closer towards knockout qualification at the same time.

      Good win for us. Would have been disappointed had we not beaten Japan comfortably despite their win over SA.

      Comfortable win for Scotland, as suspected the effort over the weekend took its toll on Japan who don't have the depth in squad.

      At least he can string two sentences together unlike most on football coverage.

      Romania were decent against France, didn't deserve to lose on that difference.

      Tonight we have All Blacks agains Namibia, should be an entertaining encounter.

      True mate. He is articulate but has very little charisma.

      Good to see Namibia score a try against New Zealand. Gave a good account of themselves, think a lot of people expected a bigger points deficit between them and NZ.

      Me and my boss (who is Australian) decided to do a RUWC draw at work, with all 30 people in our department joining in. Each people got 2 teams from a bag and if, one of those two teams wins the world cup, the person will be entitled to a prize - up to 3 people may win a prize that way.

      Well, I got Canada (no chance) and England! Have I found a reason to support England? :D

      How much do you stand to win if England become champions?
