Group B ... New Zealand 38-8 Samoa

Shockers for Wales/USA, at least the margins if not the losses.

And lost 50-4

That's a disastrous result. Only hope now is beating Samoa but even then it'd be defeat to Australia in QFs as opposed to winnable tie v Fiji. Eligibility relaxations have turned it all into a farce.


Group A
France 18-29 Lebanon

Group B
Scotland 4-50 Tonga

Inter-Group
Ireland 36-12 Italy

This.
When Lebanon are beating France in any type of rugby we must have eligibility issues.

Blair Kinghorn looks a very good player. Admittedly I only seen a few games and highlights but looks good to me. Can he cover other positions though? Cant see him getting caps while we have a fit Stuart Hogg

Has occasionally played at ten. Tbh I'm surprised he hasn't been included in squad for autumn. Jackson is in good form but is very much a known quantity
