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!

Just tuned in but impressed with Portugal so far. Holding their own

all likely to be one sided. However, I'm interested in seeing how Tonga go with their ex-all blacks. You never know, the good weather may suit them better than Ireland, and at least make it a decent game.

What’s with the stadium speaker talking trough the national anthems and the Tongan sipi tau? It feels so disrespectful :(

Hell of a start for Chile. Chile can’t let these penalties add up on them though
