South Africa v Romania

This could possibly be a stroll within the park for the Springboks. They’ve rotated their staff however they’ve acquired a lot energy in depth.
Scotland performed nicely final week however they only floor them down comfortably with their energy. It have to be soul-destroying to see them unload that bench.
One to observe: Canan Moodie

I need Fiji to win as a result of it could be nice for the match. I liked watching them in opposition to Wales final week and it could be wonderful to see them enjoying knockout rugby.

Tom Curry was given a tricky two-game ban for a pink card he picked up in opposition to Argentina
England v Japan
8pm, ITV1
It is powerful on Tom Curry that he’s banned for 2 video games. I don’t suppose it was a pink card.
The truth that Jesse Kriel wasn’t punished for a similar incident is the place all of the frustration comes from.
Sport and accidents occur. Everybody’s doing what they’ll to make the game safer however there are specific incidents you possibly can’t do something about.
There was no malice to it and I don’t see how Curry might have executed something in another way in that state of affairs except he dived out of the best way. It looks like we’re pandering an excessive amount of.
