Seriously, the ref should just blow the whistle now and put an end to the Italian's suffering.

Yeah but things like "hands off" when the player in the ruck illegally has his hands on it, it's given sometimes and other times not, I definitely feel Rugby is the referees play and the players follow.

Rugby refs are certainly more powerful in the game. And there's not so much dissent in rugby........or money for that matter.

Fiji 17-12 Georgia

That weren't no 1/16 for the Fiji win.

Scots run riot. It's not much fun watching a slaughter.

Through every time now. Romania out on their feet. Dispiriting to say the least.

Sometimes Rugby is just not Cricket.

Aus with two in the bin fighting to survive against Portugal. Some of these challenges are so wild they'd make grizzly Adams blush...

They made hard work of that. Campo used to play for these, you wouldn't think it to look at em.

South Africa doing the business , Handre Pollard getting 50 mins at 10 , clearly improving their kicking options. There’s talk of him starting at 12 with Libbok remaining at 10 , but I can’t see it myself - SAs 12 De Allende is a key blockbuster in that position. Tonga are doing well , just got their 2nd try and could have had more in the first half.

Tonga were a revelation after the Scotland game. They'll get better over the coming years.

We giving Scotland much chance against Ireland then?

Am I correct in that they need to beat Ireland and get a bonus point to qualify?
