Nestory Irankunda netted twice amid a four-goal, 17-minute explosion that saw his side run out 5-1 victors over Curacao, marking his first goal with a Jackson-inspired celebration.

I feel like we have one goal, which is to achieve something great. We want to be that group that goes all the way and, you know, potentially wins the World Cup.

To be honest, I probably put some of the blame on myself. I had a lot of chances to score and I didn't. It wasn't good enough in front of goal.

This week's squad will tell us if Irish head coach is planning to stick with his gradual evolution, or whether he thinks the project needs a sharp shock

Finn Russell is one of the players of his generation and debates are already ongoing in Scotland as to whether the out-half is the greatest player his country has produced. What his CV lacks is silverware and, while he's making up for lost time on that front after winning a series with the Lions and with a Bath team that looks like it can compete for the Champions Cup this season, he has plenty of unfinished business with Scotland.

Saracens will travel to face Bath in the round of 16 after being beaten 28-3 by Glasgow in their final pool match at Scotstoun. Most of the points came in the first half, with the Warriors scoring three converted tries through Ollie Smith, Kyle Steyn and George Horne while Saracens replied with an Owen Farrell penalty. Seb Stephen then rumbled over in the closing seconds of the match to secure a fourth successive bonus-point pool-stage victory for Glasgow.
