Discipline is costing the Japanese at the moment. Set up for a cracking second half though

All I can say about that is... 頑張ってください

12-7 Scotland, Japan have a v kickable penalty, but delay because of serious-looking Japan injury.

Scots on the brink of romping away wi'it

Turning into a hammering this, always on the cards as playing another tier one nation so soon after playing another tier one nation has taken it out of them.

The jocks will be jubilant from this thinking they are better than what they actually are, I still expect South Africa to hammer them.

Useless buggers. I had them to win +12. Can't rely on them to get owt right.

Fiji not looking too fearsome against the Oz right now. Passing errors really letting them down. We're going to have to really scrap against the green and yellows. They look really fired up.

booooooooooooooooo!! cheating welsh...

Wales coach Warren Gatland defended using non-World Cup squad players in training after being warned by tournament organisers.

World Rugby said "no deliberate breach was intended" but Wales contravened "the spirit" of the rules by inviting omitted players to training.

Gatland said: "We haven't broken any rules. Apparently we have broken the 'spirit of the rules'.

"What that means we don't know. I don't know what we have done wrong."

Joseph's pace will be missed and I thought Ford was doing pretty well overall. Launchbury too seemed to have an impact against Fiji.

There are quite a few potential winners in the tournament, Wales and Ireland not the least of threats, beside a whole rake of candidates for surprise results. Taking nothing for granted. Saturday should be huge.

Treble figures for NZ tonight surely.

Let's hope that we have been practising hooking the ball as trying to drive over it has had differing results. Although I'm a real of Morgan I am glad billy gets the nod at present purely due to the broken leg Morgan suffered not so long ago.

We must be clear favourites due to the Welsh injury problems but the job needs doing and the taffs would love to spoil our party.

Unsure about Barrit and Burgess, surprised Slade not even on the bench. Maybe we are especially worried about Roberts?

Definitely a one horse race tonight. Saracens Jacques Burger will put in a good shift and make lots of tackles though
