– Ireland beat Argentina 28-17 for their fourth consecutive win at home. CJ Stander started at No 8 for Ireland.

–  The USA beat Samoa for the first time in their history with a last-minute penalty giving them a 30-29 victory. Flank Hanco Germishuys and scrumhalf Ruben de Haas were both heavily involved in the win, with Germishuys collecting a box kick from De Haas to score one of the Eagles’ four tries.

–  Germany stunned hosts Hong Kong with a 26-9 win in the 2019 World Cup repechage. Hooker Kurt Haupt,who recently played for the Worcester Warriors, scored a second-half try for Germany, who also had an all-Saffa loose trio of Sebastian Ferreira, Jacobus Otto and Jarrid Els as well as lock and captain Michael Poppmeier, flyhalf Raynor Parkinson and wing Marcel Coetzee in their starting XV. Parkinson kicked three penalties and two conversions for Germany.

– Wing DTH van der Merwe scored a hat-trick for Canada as they put Kenya’s repechage challenge away in an emphatic 65-19 victory.
