You are guaranteed to see much tighter Junior World Championship games in today's second round.
The "curtainraiser" to the New Zealand-South Africa fixture in Albany pits the defending champions England against Australia, who beat Argentina on Monday. An Australian victory there would blow Pool A wide open. England have been engaging in a friendly inter-squad dropkicking competition, but a late pot may not go amiss to clinch the points here.
The Argentina-Italy game appeals as a potentially close one. Italy, the 2013 Junior World Trophy winner, will be seeking to bounce back from a hiding by England in round one.
Scotland and Samoa have both targeted their Pool C game in Pukekohe, where Scotland coach Sean Lineen used to do his thing for Counties in the 1980s.
France will want to build on a stilted, but merited narrow victory over Ireland on day one when they play Fiji, but the pick of the Pukekohe matches will be the Pool B showdown between Wales and Ireland.
