If Fiji are to get within 20 points of England I would be very surprised as Jones has got a strong team that is ready for anyone at the moment this might be a chance to drop anyone with any chance of risk of injury after 60 minutes

WALES V JAPAN 

Wales: Liam Williams; Leigh Halfpenny Jonathan Davies, Jamie Roberts, Alex Cuthbert; Gareth Anscombe, Lloyd Williams; Nicky Smith, Scott Baldwin, Samson Lee, Cory Hill, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (capt), James King.
Replacements: Kristian Dacey, Rhys Gill, Scott Andrews, Jake Ball, Ross Moriarty, Gareth Davies, Sam Davies, Keelan Giles.

Wales should use this as a learning experience for the World cup when it comes and how the Aisain public will accept them. I think that this game could be close until 70 minutes but then the legs that Wales have will take control of this match

FRANCE V AUSTRALIA 














I think if France play well they will do very well and be within 3 points but if they play badly they could loose by 20 points or more they do have a habit of doing this. Up one day down the next.

IRELAND V NEW ZEALAND

 Ireland: R Kearney; A Trimble, J Payne, R Henshaw, S Zebo; J Sexton, C Murray; J McGrath, R Best, T Furlong; D Toner, D Ryan; CJ Stander, S O'Brien, J Heaslip.
Replacements: S Cronin, C Healy, F Bealham, I Henderson, J van der Flier, K Marmion, P Jackson, G Ringrose.

New Zealand: B Smith; I Dagg, M Fekitoa, A Lienert-Brown, J Savea; B Barrett, A Smith; J Moody, D Coles, O Franks; B Retallick, S Whitelock; L Squire, S Can, K Read (capt).
Replacements: C Taylor, W Crockett, C Faumuina, S Barrett, A Savea, TJ Perenara, A Cruden, W Naholo.

This is definitely a match where we will be able to see what Ireland is going to come through and whether or not we have the potential to win the World Cup in 3 years. This will be a different type of match as Ireland have the monkey off their back so what can they do now. I think Ireland will compete but loose by less than 5.

SCOTLAND V ARGENTINA 

Scotland: Hogg, Maitland, Jones, Dunbar, Seymour, Russell, Laidlaw (capt), Dell, Brown, Fagerson, Gilchrist, J Gray, Bradbury, Watson, Barclay.
Replacements: Ford, Allan, Low, Swinson, Wilson, Price, Horne, Visser.

Scotland have shown in recent weeks that they can compete with anyone in the world but I think this will be different. I feel that Argentina
 have got too much power for Scotland compete for this one.

ITALY V SOUTH AFRICA 











I think that South Africa will win this game by at least 15 points but Italy can do well in this type of match and matches like this can only help Italy go forward
