Saturday saw a historic win for Tonga as they beat France 19-14. Elsewhere, Australia saw off a resilient Russia 68-22 and England left it late to defeat Scotland 16-12.

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 games:

@RaggyRalph: All credit to the Russians what a halftime turnaround. A really gutsy second 40 from them.
@liz_pwd: And now Adam Ashley-Cooper as well the Wallabies are running rampant. Awesome to watch.
@Nbrinning: Despite the scoreline, RUSSIA doing very well! Hoping they develop enough for RWC 2015!
@ubique_G29: Great to see Pocock back with flare and combinations coming together. More front row tries please.
@jpsuts: Tonga have proved you never ever lose hope! Great, great win!
@TheRefZone: Fra V Tong. Not a scoreline you expect to wake up to.
@SulianaKami: PROUDEST!! we did it for all the pacific nations. Samoa and Tonga proved we can be just as good as tier 1 teams!
@ssBarber: Scotland fans always look so much better than anyone.
@beanbiz: At least the weather will make both teams feel like they're playing at home.
@hmcollins: It's like clash of the titans tonight! C'mon Engerrrrlannddddd!
@TwinkelPink: I just can't watch anymore *hides behind cushion*.
@Deanne: You only have to be great for one minute.
@Darren Crannis: YESSSSSSSSSSS! A win is a win no matter how ugly. Well done Scotland - great RWC 2011 campaign.
