Best of #RWC2011 - 20 Sept

A proud Italian fan looks on at Trafalgar Park in Nelson.

Tuesday saw a highscoring game in Pool C, where Russia's first ever Rugby World Cup tries could not prevent Italy registering a 53-17 win.

Italy went into the break on the back of six tries but despite a more resilient second half performance, Russia just couldn't find a way back into the match.

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:
