Times in BST. Sorry SH. Wales already won by a point, so probably best match already done. Anyone want to predict score lines for the rest? Think I'll watch the Chile on iplayer later, not feeling the need to watch that one live

Oz-Georgia
40-29 to 'straya
Holy Heck what a fun game to watch as a neutral! I haven't seen very much at all of Georgia play so it was a wonderful surprise to see how good their backs were. If anything the Australian's bossed it up front and that's what earnt the victory.
Two brilliant tries in the match, one 105m effort from Georgia off a turnover on their line, followed by a 60m forwards only try from Australia off the back of a line out.
Loads to work on for Australia ahead of TRC, most pressingly working out who the hell can solve the problem at 10. For Georgia, justice would be some kind of competition between them, Wales & Italy to work out who gets to be the last team in the 6 nations because they were awesome to watch tonight.
Italy put Georgia firmly to bed last year, but certainly Wales haven't faced them in a while. And curious to hear about the backs - not often Georgia's strong suit. Can't wait to see them again either, hopefully next year in the flesh
Yeah, I guess to be honest that was my hot take while I was fizzing from the razzle dazzle of the last 20-30 minutes of the game. They look like a team that just needs more regular games against the big teams - similar to Japan.
