Like Japan the other day Romania played very confidently and took some risks. I liked the call they made early on to go for a try instead of taking an easy penalty, they made it over the line but couldn't get the ball down. I'm hoping that the French don't wake up until after they play Canada!
I feel a bit bad for Fiji as they have put in two very strong games against England and Australia but have come up empty handed. Had they not been drawn in the pool of death they mightve had a good shot at the quarters but that's the nature of these tournaments.

Pocock, I don't think there is a better player at the breakdown than he is currently playing the game of rugby. Just amazing. It was a joy to watch.
