The battle for places in the World Cup knockout stages is hotting up.
England and Wales can reserve their passing over the upcoming few days, although there are big games coming up for Japan and Scotland, which then have a direct impact on Ireland out of their pools.
What would be the permutations in each pool? BBC Sport takes a closer look.
Teams receive four points for a win and two for a draw. A bonus point will be awarded for scoring four tries or for a beat by seven points or fewer.
The winner and runner-up in each pool qualify for the quarter-finals.
The winner of this match between the two teams will be rated higher When two teams are tied in the conclusion of the group phase then.
In case two or more teams are tied then points gap is going to be used to distinguish them together with various other eliminators if points gaps are equivalent, used.
Japan v Samoa (5 October): Japan will proceed back to the top of the table and to pole position for their first World Cup quarter-final should they conquer Samoa on Saturday, an effect which would end the Pacific Islanders hopes of qualification.
A Samoa success would dismiss by transferring them before 15, off the group wide open and level on points with Japan while a bonus-point win would take them in to second and the qualification spot.
If Japan win on Saturday then Scotland would have to conquer the Brave Blossoms in a crunch final match on 13 October with bonus points likely to come into play, to progress.
Scotland v Russia (9 October): A Scotland win on Wednesday against Russia will see them move closer to both Ireland and Japan, and potentially climb into the top two depending on Japans result.
Defeat for Scotland would all-but end their hopes of eligibility.
Russia are out of the competition but will be keen to register their first point of the tournament.
Ireland will be eligible for the previous eight with success over Samoa on 12 given Japan and Scotland could both not match the 15 things they would then have.
Remaining fixtures:
New Zealand v Namibia (6 October): Defending champions New Zealand could be third in Pool B however theyre now agreeing to take top place with games from Namibia and Italy to emerge, with already played and conquered – South Africa.
A triumph over Namibia on Sunday can see the All Blacks head top but they wouldnt be certain of going through until after their final game.
South Africa v Canada (8 October): South Africa could affirm their development using a bonus-point victory over Canada on Tuesday.
New Zealand v Italy (12 October): Unless Canada shock the Springboks or even Namibia beat New Zealand, Italy would have to beat the All Blacks in their final match to advance, and even that might not be enough in case Steve Hansens men maintained bonus points.
Remaining fixtures:
England v Argentina (5 October): England will seal their qualification to the last eight with victory over Argentina on Saturday, and all-but finish the Pumas odds of progression.
Victory for Argentina would see them move to the very top, level on points with England, though a bonus-point win would take them over the 2003 winners – unless England secure a bonus point.
France v Tonga (6 October): Should England lose, France can head top by beating Tonga on Sunday. France will be eligible by beating on Tonga Should England win then.
Tonga have to win all their remaining games to stand any chance of progressing.
Remaining fixtures:
Australia v Uruguay (5 October): The Wallabies will proceed above Wales into top spot with success within bottom-place Uruguay – albeit having played a game more. Any win would be enough for qualification if Wales beat against Fiji in their next match.
They would be taken by an achievement for Uruguay .
Wales v Fiji (9 October): To Wales, its simple. Conquer Fiji and they seal their progress to the next round.
Defeat for Wales would see Fiji move .
That would abandon Georgia, and Wales, Fiji, Australia together with the chance to achieve the knockout stage to be performed.
Remaining fixtures:
