11.10.2015 UNITED STATES   JAPAN   GLOUCESTER

South Africa is assured top spot in this pool. Scotland and Japan will slug it out for second place. If Japan gets through it will be the first time in their Rugby World Cup history to do that.

‘Scotland will qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat Samoa on Saturday or if Japan fail to beat USA on Sunday (provided that it is not a bonus-point draw for Japan).

Samoa can finish in third place only with a bonus-point win against Scotland and if Japan gain no points against USA.’
