Africa de Sud – Fiji 49-3
Fijienii au fost readusi cu picioarele pe pamant dupa debutul bun cu Namibia, meci in care acumulasera punctul bonus ofensiv. Boks au fost mult prea tari, asa ca victoria nu a fost pusa la indoiala. Mai mult, Fiji detine recordul nedorit de echipa care a marcat cele mai putine puncte intr-un meci la actuala editie a Cupei Mondiale.
Campionii mondiali au marcat eseuri prin Steenkamp, Fourie, F Steyn, M Steyn, Mtawarira, Rossouw, restul punctelor fiind marcate de M. Steyn, cinci transformari si doua penalitati, plus f. Steyn, o penalitate. Bai a adus singurele puncte pentru Fiji.

Australia – Irlanda 6-15
Una din marile surprize ale Cupei Mondiale a fost produsa de irlandezi, care au castigat cu 15-6 in fata australienilor. Wallabies au deschis scorul prin O’Connor, din lovitura de pedeapsa, acelasi jucator aducand si celelalte trei puncte pentru Australia. De partea cealalta, in acest meci fara eseuri, semn al echilibrului, Sexton a marcat de doua ori din lovitura de pedeapsa, reusind si un drogol. Ultimele puncte ale meciului, cele care practic i-au privat pe australieni de punctul bonus defensiv, au venit de la O’Gara, pe final de meci.
