This second round always shaped as a weekend of one-sided contests.

Today has continued the trend so far, with Samoa's men demolishing Papua New Guinea 64-6 and the Fijian women continuing a tough day for the fans in Port Moresby with a 40-4 win over the Orchids.

And, as we speak, England has emerged from the half-time break leading France 36-0 in Perth.
