Scotland 45 v 10 Japan

In a game in which Japan didn't cover themselves in glory after the exploits of Saturday, it was a similarly lacklustre performance by us too, with Sam_Clarke1 the best of a nondescript bunch scoring 11.

Australia 28 v 13 Fiji

Just when Australia were looking to cut loose in the early stages of the second half, Fiji managed to arrest their progress, making the final difference of 15 beneficial to CGG_12 who was exactly right. Close behind was Mark F 3 off and Realale and mb@2day who were both 5 off.

Hi Stunty, although failing to submit a prediction means you're out of the overall competition - you are still in the cup - should you choose to continue. Cup draw will be known after the final game on Saturday.

This holds for The Net too.

New Zealand 58 v 14 Namibia

In what some are calling not the biggest rugby shock of all time, the top ranked side in the world beat the bottom ranked side in the competition – extending their record in World Cup group matches to 26 and 0.

Nearest here, being 6 away was mb@2day and dean michael with topgooner100 2 back from them.

With 4 matches still to play in the current round, I am putting up the 3rd round of fixtures. This is not ideal but unavoidable with the way the next round starts immediately after the previous one finishes.

The bonus question is: How many tries will be scored from the 66th minute onwards in this round of 8 matches? Ie from when the clock shows 65:00. -50 for the nearest or -100 if your prediction is exactly right.

Deadline for predictions is: 12:00 noon, Sunday 27th September

Argentina 54 v 9 Georgia

Most of us thought this would be closer, neilwatson head and shoulders above everyone else, being 3 out.
