Every one of today's final round of JWC pool games has something riding on it, but none more so, as far as the home side is concerned, than the Wales-France Pool B showdown in Albany.
France can win the pool with victory, and form would suggest that Ireland would takethe maximum five points against Fiji, which would see the fourth place-getters at the Six Nations reach the semifinals as the fourth qualifier. That would relegate New Zealand, on home soil, to the 5th-8th playoffs, a bitter pill to swallow.
Ideally New Zealand would want Wales to win - that may be a first - but without the bonus point. New Zealand's own lack of a bonus point against South Africa may haunt them, though they were not to know at the time that it might be crucial.
In Pool A, Australia could post a big score against Italy, who have already made their tournament by beating Argentina, and that would put more pressure on New Zealand to win by a large margin against Scotland, providing all the previous conditions have been met.
Up to four children under 14 can gain entry for free with a paying adult at both venues.
England and South Africa will win pools A and C, and top the qualifiers going into this Sunday's playoffs/semifinal round.
In the first suspension of the tournament, Fiji first five Maika Baleinaloto was given a seven-week break for "a dangerous lifting tackle" against France on Friday.
