Terrific win for the Wallabies! Dat Foley.

It was good to see another win for Japan, pity it won't be enough for quarter-finals. Even if they had got a BP today, it wouldn't be enough as they would tie with Scotland. Now they can only hope for Samoa to win that last game.

At least if they make third they auto qualify which is important seen as the next world cup is in Japan

Actually they'd auto qualify as hosts already so finishing third won't give them anything that they didn't already have, other than satisfaction at being the most successful Japanese team to ever play at a world cup of course.

Oh really? Thats not fair to have auto qualification though as its meant to always be the best 20 teams in the world. I think next world cup is going to be intense. These small teams have really stepped up. I expect the 2023 world cup will bump the total teams up because competition will be fearsome. Georgia and Japan i expect to be decent teams by next worldcup. Teams like Fiji have already reached there limits as the sport is as popular as it can ever be there so only better couching could make them a stronger nation.
