IAN MADIGAN FOR THE CONVERSION.... YES!

It now looks very promising for ireland!

It is the same situation for these two teams as with AUSTRALIAv WALES... both teams are through, but which will top the Pool Board and therefore get an easier opponent next!

I may be here to cheer on the Japanese, as they are a great little team, and have done so unexpectedly well in the World Cup!

Depending on a family problem that has just cropped up! :-|

WALES NEWSFLASH :-0 :-0 :-0

LIAM WILLIAMS HAS BEEN RULED OUT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD CUP! :-( :-( :-(

Liam, Wales' Winger / Full Back, has a foot injury. He was helped off the pitch during the Australia v Wales game yesterday afternoon.

Liam has not long returned following surgery on his foot! I don't know if it's the same injury!

LIAM IS THE 6TH WALES KEY PLAYER TO BE INJURED OUT OF THE RUGBY WORLD CUP!

Jem and all the Rugby Gang on Radio Jem are gutted for Liam and Wales.
We send our sympathy to him, and the rest of the Wales Team.
We wish Liam a speedy recovery <3 <3 <3

Dear me Radio Jem. So sorry to hear you have a family problem and hope it's nothing too serious. Of course you must concentrate your attention on your family.

I will give the scores.... but I think everyone knows by now that I know absolutely nothing about the rugby rules!!

I'm just wanting to help for this match.
