Tonga won 22-16

That group is very interesting now...

Italy and Scotland are both on a win and a draw and Tonga is on a win.

If Scotland lose to the USA they will be out. If Scotland win then Tonga is out. If Italy win, their points differential should be enough to get them through. If Scotland lose, the winner of Italy vs Tonga is through. If Italy and Tonga draw, Scotland will need to win.

Scotland beat USA 22-8

USA were up 8-0 at halftime apparently. This ends Tonga's chances. Italy need just to win to knock Scotland out as they are both currently +16 in points differential.

At half time, NZ are absolutely smashing PNG 40 to 0. SBW has a hat trick and Tuivasa-Sheck has two tries. PNG had only one set in the first 17 minutes.

Goals: Shaun Johnson 8

PNG 10
Tries: Dion Aiye, Wellington Albert
Goal: Francis Paniu

Man of the Match: SBW

Jesse Bromwich played quite well. Although it looked like he may have hurt his shoulder in a tackle with 2 or 3 minutes to go. Although the commentators didn't mention anything. Hopefully it was just a stinger.
