Wales made heavy weather of their game and the scoreline flattered their performance somewhat.They're going to have to improve quickly especially given that they have a quick turnaround to their match against France.Japan v Scotland certainly lived up to its billing,what an absolutely superb match :y :y

Tending to think Japan could be serious contenders as their approach to the team game is quite stunning given the turnaround the national team have made over the past few years.
I,m sure our own Eddie Jones must take a lot of credit for the ethos he instilled in them

They also seem to be one of the few (only?) Teams to have fully taken on board the high tackle rules - as refereed in this world cup.

Their two-up tackling against Scotland's big players in the centre was great to watch. First man going low to slow the attacker with the second man going in higher but with time to accurately place the hit. It's obviously something the team has been drilled on and it worked a treat today and against Ireland too.  :y

I'm not a rugby man, and don't fully understand the rules, but I certainly enjoyed that game today.

Yes me too, it was far better than ours, a pleasure to watch, but at least we’re through.

Assuming you're supporting your home team, I really hope they show what a great team they are from here on out. They've done good but made a real meal of the group stages!

Well played England and deserved the win ,however Australia are a shadow of their past teams tbh.They have some genuine worldclass players but seem to lack the full team/80 minutes of old.

All Blacks are something else though and England will need to perform out of their skins to beat them if they bring their usual A game,but anything is possible at this stage and should be a excellent match next week.

I would reallyike to see Japan progress further and they certainly have the mind set to so looking forward to that match tomorrow .The entire of Japan will nodoudt stop to support their National Team...what a great example they set  :)

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

I think the All Blacks[pretty much as usual]are the team to beat.I'd really love to see the Japanese team progress-their home fans would go ballistic!-need Wales to bring their A game to the match tomorrow and beat the French :y

Not going too well for the Welsh at present-although still fairly close]hopefully they can pull it round in the second half.

Bit lucky there, Wales, the French kicker wants a kicking himself and the big bastard who elbowed a Welsh player in the face should get a ban.
Nevertheless, a semi final beckons.
