Brilliant stuff (and made me forget about that Everton result!).

So next Sunday night, Wales v Australia;
Wales win, and it’ll be them and Fiji going through with Aussies out.
Australia win, and Fiji could still go out on bonus points etc.

Have I got that right?

Erm no and Yes :-)
Fiji are now in a strong position and really need two bonus point wins against the two weaker teams which would probably be enough at 16pts.
If Wales win in all likelihood the Convicts go home.
If Australia win it will probably depend on them getting a bonus point.if that happens Wales could be heading home.
They could beat Wales, not get a bonus point and the latter get one by being within 7points of the victors.If that happens the convicts are in trouble.
Other variables do exist.

Cheers, I’m glad you’ve had a go at explaining that pal, cos I had no idea!

Is it just me or does the Japanese national anthem sound like the old Hovis advert?

England have paid this ref off, hilarious how one sided he's been

Which game are you watching lol

I think the second half will see England either win easy but not spectacular or the Japanese score a few tries and put it up to England to cause another upset win.
