Ireland cruising, 44-3, 76 minute. I have to say, we kept our powder dry before the tournament. We kept a lot of back line moves under wraps until the last match and today. Looking very sharp, 4 tries by wingers too. Set up nicely for Italy and France. |

Fair play there isn't a bigger cock in rugby than Mike Brown. What a plank he is. Gracious in defeat as ever. Good win for Ireland. Good to see all the big home nation sides having a good weekend as well  . |

Last updated at 16:05
James Hook and Gareth Anscombe have been added to Wales' squad after Scott Williams and Hallam Amos were ruled out of the World Cup through injury.
Gloucester's Hook, 30, can play centre, fly-half or full-back and has won 78 caps, while Cardiff Blues fly-half or full-back Anscombe, 24, has one cap.
Full-back Liam Williams was concussed in the win over England in which Williams and Amos were injured.
The Scarlet will miss Thursday's game with Fiji but could face Australia.

Hopefully Rob Kearney's knock isn't too serious, would be a big blow to Ireland if he were to get injured

Full credit to Fiji they made us work for that. Knew it would be a physical and difficult game but we made so many mistakes. Got the win but really could have done with that bonus point.
Not impressed with Cuthbert at all either. Needs replacing.
Need to up our game against Australia or we're not going anywhere. Really hoping Australia win on Saturday. Pressure right off then.

By Aimee Lewis Wales mark their territory
Wales 23-13 Fiji
Posted at 18:44
They didn't always have it their own way, but Wales' superior possession and territory gave them the platform on which to achieve their third win of the tournament. Unbeaten with one game remaining and currently top of their pool.
  'Scrum concern' Wales 23-13 Fiji Rob Jones Former Wales scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 live "It was a professional job by a lot of tired individuals by Wales. Thankfully there are eight days to go until their next big battle with Australia. Well done to Fiji. They played their hearts out. Wales played good quality professional rugby but the one concern is the scrum."

Our scrum is awful. Granted the Fiji pack are strong but its not just todays game that I've noticed it. Getting pushed off the balk with relative ease.

That lack of a bonus point could really hurt you Paulie.

That lack of a bonus point could really hurt you Paulie. Well of Australia do the business it won't matter but yes I agree we really needed to get that bonus point yesterday. Hopefully Biggar will be OK and Liam Williams will have recovered from the concussion. 9 day rest now so hopefully we'll be in the right frame of mind against the Wallabies. |
