After two days without any matches, Rugby World Cup 2011 continued with three enthralling encounters including a first glimpse of Samoa, Canada and Georgia.

Georgia were the only side unable to record a win out of the three but battled hard against Scotland who relied on the boot of Dan Parks to kick all of their points in the 15-6 victory.

Throughout the tournament we will be providing a regular Fan Forum which will include some of your comments from the official Rugby World Cup Twitter account, @rugbyworldcup, and #rwc2011, and here is a selection of your thoughts after today's matches:
