Japan vs USA

As many of you know the tab have lines for all the games, this game is the last of the pool play games with the NZ tab having Japan as slight 2.5 point favourites (1.60 h2h) couldn't believe it when I saw it seeing as though this game will likely define wether Japan make the quarter finals or not so I checked the schedule thinking it may be a short turn around for Japan, USA play South Africa 4 days before! While Japan have an 8 day break!!! JAPAN H2H 

Another line that took my eye was Fiji getting 18 points against Wales, Wales historically struggle with the island teams, this game is also situated Inbetween England and Australia which you have to think would be their main focus, Also a 5 day turnaround. I can't see Wales running away with this game

The USA will also be targeting that game as their one real "winnable" game (now that they went down to Samoa) so it will be no easy out for Japan.  Of course Japan may have already qualified for the QF by then so that changes the dynamic too.

Wales is in a real tight spot if they lose to England (which is likely).  Fiji will become even more of a must-win and they'll have to back up again against Australia too in the same situation.

Your reasoning is sound, GL

I see what you guys are saying but 18 is a lot, Even if they get off to a good start and have the game locked up I can see them getting complacent with the thought of Australia around the corner

I'm with you, I wouldn't lay the points in that situation, not on a banged up Welsh squad.
