20-7 now, Pieter Labuschagne from, I think, Okinawa prefecture just scored another try.

Japan will face off against Ireland - who fair enough are pretty good and probably favourites to top the group - Scotland, bunch of pansies, Russia and Samoa. Japan has a lot of remarkably NZ-sounding surnames in their squad so they should squeak through.
Pool B - NZ and South Africa are the two biggies of this group and, per the quote, facing off against each other on Saturday, it will be a good place to see how the teams stand, otherwise they can easily knock off Italy, Namibia and Canada
Pool C - the Group of Death here, England, France, Argentina, USA and Tonga, on their day anyone can beat anyone here though England and France should be favourites. I'm not sure on Rugby Union but in the 7's the USA are remarkably good so they could swap over that form.
Pool D - Should be pretty easy for Australia and Wales to go through given they're up against Uruguay, Fiji and Georgia
NZ and South Africa, Australia and Wales are somewhat nailed in for the quarter-finals, I'll say Ireland and Japan and who knows for Pool C but..
So, who do you think will win?

Quite a few New Zealanders in the Mighty Cherry Blossoms purely because rugby isn't that widely known or very popular in Japan. Conversely there's a lot of Pacific Islanders in the All Blacks, although only two of them were born in the Pacific Islands (one from Samoa and one from Tonga).

Big match tonight, reminds me of '07 I think, when England and SA faced off against each in the first round and then met back in the final.
I need to find somewhere they're showing it.
