South Africa
66 - 7
Canada
A fired-up South Africa raced to an unassailable lead over Canada, scoring 47 unanswered points in the first half. This included the fastest-ever Rugby World Cup hat-trick by Cobus Reinach, and a 6th red card of the tournament, this time for Canada's Josh Larsen.

Argentina

USA
The USA have proven tough to beat in their two matches so far, and will be up against a disappointed Pumas side that has already been knocked out of the tournament. Argentina are expected to win, but it might not be a huge winning margin.

Scotland
61 - 0
Russia
Scotland must beat Russia and score four tries, and then beat Japan on Sunday by more than 7 points in order to qualify for the knockout stages. This is mostly a second-choice lineup, but it should be strong enough to win comfortably.

Wales
29 - 17
Fiji
Wales are at full-strength for this match, and a win should see them top the group and progress safely to the quarter-finals. They aren't taking Fiji lightly, who have been slightly disappointing so far in the tournament, but can still be very dangerous - as Wales know all too well.
Good luck with your picks!
Scrumhalves kicking for touch instead of Handre or Elton. They give away priceless possession at times when we need the ball in hand, no ball equals no tries...
Handling is atrocious at times which is food for the likes of the AB's, Wales, England, Australia and Ireland.
They only score when the opponents lose a player - Italy 17-3 half time with 15 players is not a massive difference in points.
Against Canada with 14 men they even gave away a try and got close to conceding even more points than in the first half.
We need a tighter more clinical display before we will bring the Cup home.
Now what is left is for the them to keep consistency and the hunger to win at all costs
Regarding the RWC scoring both teams will be awarded 2 points 10 Oct 06:58
