- Pool D: Samoa 43-10 Chile
- Underdogs take early lead but Samoa dominate after half-time
Samoa opened their account at the World Cup, storming to a bonus-point victory against Chile in Bordeaux.
Chile fans in their red shirts formed rings outside the pristine pillared white box of the Stade de Bordeaux before the match, couples taking it in turn to enter the space and circle each other in the traditional Cueca dance.
