South Africa 17-16 Wales

Wales we're the better team by far, did not deserve to lose

Ok maybe I'm biased

Think New Zealand may have slightly annihalated Japan 83-7 although only saw the Japan try which was actually quite good

Super performance by the men in green this morning putting them back to the top of group C. Bad luck for the Scots narrowly defeated by the Pumas in the dying mites. It should make for an exciting match next Saturday against old rivals Engerland. Hopefully they can send Proud Martin's Army homeward tae think again.
