Belgium-Czech Republic 40-0 in Pniewy

Belgium always had the will to spread the game and its forwards mastered the Czech opponents. With six tries among, which five marked by the back row, the Czech could not compete.

 

Netherlands-Germany 10-12 in Poznan

 

Despite the match being played in heavy rain for most of the first half, both teams tried to play positive Rugby. However, handling errors were plenty due to the wet conditions and the half finished scoreless. The second half saw the Germans create more continuity with their powerful forwards and with successful off-loads both in and after the Dutch defensive line, much pressure was created on the Netherlands which resulted in 2 tries for the Germans. The Dutch were reciprocal in their pressure on the Germans especially out wide, where they scored their try but were unable to convert other opportunities on offer.
