France had a bit of a tougher time with Uruguay, who is a decent team but not on their tier. They're playing to their competition
New Zealand got a nice get-right match with Namibia
Namibia again proves they do not belong in the RWC
Pool B
Ireland is so good. This is their cup to lose
Tonga had a rough go in their first match, though it's not going to get any easier
South Africa had a bye effectively
Romania really doesn't belong in the RWC
Pool C
Wales plays to their competition. Their win against Fiji looks better after the Fijans took down Australia, but Wales is a tier above these teams.
Huge win for Fiji over Australia. They were being pushed around a bit at times, but really had the right responses at the right times with some clutch turnovers
Australia is probably out because of the loss to Fiji. They cannot finish, despite being the better team
Pool D
England wore Japan down and showed why they're one of the premier teams in the competition. It was a pretty thoroughly impressive performance by the Roses
Japan played hard but doesn't have the depth and stamina to be a real contender at this point
Samoa gave Chile the business but it's kind of meaningless given how bad Chile is
