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?

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

Yeah, though I think they've signed him through to after 2027 World Cup!

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.

What a great game the Fiji match was. What a pool now!

Fiji played well, and shut down everything we have, which was not a lot.

Yes, came from Canada to watch the games. Samoa V Chile yesterday was awesome. The stadium and the vibe was intense. Can't wait for the bokkes today

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