The men in green went down to the French 25 - 3 in Saint-Denis. Apparently the Irish played a dispirited and disjointed game and conceded 11 penalties, 5 of which the French successfully converted into points. Les Bleus will be relieved and their passage now through to the quarters is assured with their last match to be against the Georgians on the 26th.
The Welsh crushed my minnow faves the Cherry Blossoms 72 -18. The Dragons enjoyed the home-ground advantage playing in Cardiff; however, the Japanese made an impressive 138 tackles, so they didn't go down without a fight. In fact, at half-time, they only trailed 29 - 11. I love the Cherry Blossoms - they know they're not in the big leagues but they play with heart and passion. They're cute too :-)
Their match against Canada will be the last chance we'll have to see them play in the Cup. Go Japan!
