The Scots then accelerated it even more and did not give Russia a chance to break through. Horn made the next attempt in the 44th minute. Two for Scotland and Horn followed second. Not much happened until just before the end. Scotland scored again in the final minutes with bonus points on the table. Russia had to concede defeat with a disastrous defeat of 61:00. The Scots, on the other hand, still face Japan over the weekend.

Wales and Fiji in yellow card frenzy

Wales and Fiji were in the final round, where it was much tougher than the others. Jisua Tuisova made the first attempt for Fiji in the fourth minute. Soon after, Wells received a yellow card and a time-out for Kane Owens. Fiji took advantage of the small number of players and made another attempt in the eighth minute. However, he was of no use for long, as he turned yellow in the 16th minute and a player was down.

Wells took advantage of this and immediately made a first attempt with Josh Adams. Unlike Fiji, however, he got extra points. Fiji conceded a second yellow card and Wales took another attempt and heightened.

The second half started with 14:10 and a second yellow card, but this time for Wales. Fiji received a successful penalty attempt for a foul. It was equally hectic, followed by a penalty and a try for Wales. With another try and height, Wales consolidated their lead and won the game 29–17.
