    japan are doing quite well, putting in some big hits and making some good runs

    massive mismatch in the scrum though.

    Impressed with Japan, they are much better than I expected.

    Good guess.
    Is it just the one bonus point for scoring 4 or more tries or is it one for every 4 tries scored? They should really do something to weed out games like this.

    Just one bonus point available per team each match.

    If they got rid of the games like this one though then it wouldn't be much of a world cup would it? Tri-Nations + 5 Nations + Argentina, and Italy only get in to make up the numbers.

    i'd just like to point out that Japan are ranked #18 and there are 20 teams in the cup. If they go weeding out teams like Japan how many teams will be in the tournament?
