    The selectors will use the extra time before the All Blacks next Rugby World Cup match, to figure out the best way to manage their squad


    Coach Steve Hansen has confirmed they will look to use all available players during the games against Canada and Namibia given the four day turn around between the matches.

    Hansen view the next fortnight as a positive.



    Scotland coach Gregor Townsend has highlighted a number of areas his side will improve on in order to make the quarter finals.

    The defeat by Ireland has the Scots needing to beat Samoa, Russia and Japan to get through to a probable last eight meeting against the All Blacks.

    Townsend says the game they play can pressure opposition when they are accurate.



    Wales face Georgia tonight.
