Just what hungover Saturday’s require. Results as predicted yesterday, today with some more slightly likely to be closer matches

Home UTC+1 Away
South Africa 1400 Romania
Australia 1645 Fiji
England 2000 Japan

I can’t wait to see if Japan have been targetting this match, and Fiji should put up a fun game too. Anyone in France for these today?

    I’m impressed the Fijians had the gumption to try and kick for the points at the end. I’d mentioned the possibility of denying Australia the LBP twice in the run up to that pen and totally forgot the second the whistle went.

      Totally forgot about the LBP, thought it was just for points difference. Makes so much sense now

      Wales still have Georgia to come which could leave thé Australia/wales match being real interesting.

    So I reckon the vibe plenty of us Kiwis got that it was a pretty reckless move to sack Dave Rennie who was producing a competitive Wallabies team despite a raft of injuries was probably a good gut instinct.

    If Rennie, or Deans had produced a string of results like this there would be blood in the water, its hard to know how Eddie has got away with selecting the team he has given the results they’d produced prior to the tournament.

      Grade D circus show around Eddie Jones these days. I suspect he’s done after this tournament

      oh man, i am really dirty! why would we pull in a coach with just months to go from the world cup!?!

      The way they played Georgia i was worried that they were going to be crap, as they should have put them to the sword, but didnt.

      Excellent, so nice to get to a game in person. I’ve heard Bordeaux is amazing too for food and wine
