Japan saw off Italy 27-10 in the second match of the day before Australia and Ireland played out another cracker in Sydney, with the Irish winning 33-31.
Wales then made it back-to-back Test wins with 24-38 victory over the Flying Fijians in Cardiff ahead of world champions South Africa putting England to the sword 45-21.
