Fans watch on as New Zealand record their second victory at RWC 2011

New Zealand overwhelmed a brave Japanese defence as the hosts recorded an impressive 83-7 victory in their Pool A match at the Waikato Stadium. 

New Zealand ran in six first-half tries and added another seven after the break, to register the highest score of Rugby World Cup 2011 so far.

Throughout the tournament we will be providing a regular Fan Forum which will include some of your comments from the official Rugby World Cup Twitter account, @rugbyworldcup, and #rwc2011, and here is a selection of your thoughts after today's match:

@AllieKeith: That was an ace match - neither side wanted it to end! Well done Japan!
@RickiCleveland Anyone else think Japan have some of the best line-outs this rugby world cup has seen this year?
@davidaugustine: Poor Japan! Well, it goes down as experience! They will up their game for the future!
@jag5398: Congrats to the whole of the All Blacks and a big cheer to the Japanese side who never gave up. Great spirit
@Kris-Anne: Japan, you deserved that try. Surely tried hard.
@ElsbethGotts: I love the Japanese supporters! Their team is losing and they are still smiling, cheering and flag waving. Brilliant!
@IamTastyKarate: Kahui! 2nd try of the evening. Impressed with him this World Cup. Centre and wing is there anything he can't do? Good work so far gents.
@CraigOrch13: I must say, I wouldn't complain if the All Blacks won the RWC 2011 - they are playing like champs!
@Jasonlarkin: Cracking World Cup so far
@FaingaaTwins: Just heading to the recovery centre feeling pretty good can't wait to play tomorrow
