3 matches today

Home	UTC+1	Away
Samoa	1400	Chile
Wales	1645	Portugal
Ireland	2000	Tonga

None of which look particularly appetising at first glance, but! Chile were better than all thought in their opener, Wales are still shit, and Ireland will be concentrating on Scotland, not Tonga

Weather today is dry and quite hot, with 30 close in the south, let's hope for some great tries!

Won’t be able to watch much, if any of the rugby today and it’s probably the best day for that given the matchups.

That’s said, always been a fan of Portugal since their debut, and I might try and see how Ireland are looking seeing as they’re possible quarter final opponents.

I imagine for them the plan will be bonus point win and, more importantly, no injuries. On the last point, I Suspect they’ll come at Tonga right out the blocks to try put the match out of reach as soon as possible. I Imagine the tackles hit that little bit harder when the win is still there for the taking.

Aye, I'm also busy today, seeing as Scotland not playing this weekend. Might catch some of the last match, we'll see
