    These “off feet “ calls are a bit shit. Most of the sevens refs are whistling turnovers after a split second of clear jackal but Jenner is waiting for them to fall over then ruling the other way.

    Newer players will be very confused at the sheer gulf between decisions on identifical situations.

    So far we've got the QFs as FIJ v AUS and USA v GB

    The ones TBD are
    France v Best 3rd Place - probably China with a -1 PD

    NZL v 2nd best 3rd Place - currently the Not-Russians are at +21 and the Canadians at -12. If the Ferns beat Not-Russia by 34 then Canadia make it.

    Or I'm reading that draw completely wrong, and failed maths.

    I'm assuming the Ferns win by at least 23 and push ROC below China in any case.

    Is there really much of a chance of lightning inside the stadium?

    Stadiums are tall with lighting poles etc, chance is actually high, maybe not into the field, but there are other people working around more likely to be in danger. Not necessarily direct strike, but damage associated with one

    @nta NZ need to win their game v ROC first, before USA v GB is certain. GB at the moment still first in pool A.

    It's clearing up there now, just some random thunderstorms around.

    Edit: @Stargazer is probably enough of a geek to want a good local weather website, and my choice is one called Tokyo Amesh

    FFS, fatigue is cumulative. I hope they change or delay the quarters, not fair on either NZ or ROC (not that I give a shit about ROC)

    @machpants They definitely have to change the order of QFs. The pool A winner plays the first QF (8.30pm) in the current schedule. That should be changed to last (10.00pm), at least.
