Briefly
Japan were comfortable winners over Samoa but made their push towards a quarter final spot difficult with some strange decisions late in the game. Penalty shots were taken instead of working towards a bonus point. Those decisions may come back to haunt them.

South Africa were made to work hard by a determined Scotland in Newcastle. South Africa missed a fourth try.
