Ireland have been sucked into an intriguing battle for top spot in Pool A ahead of their final game against Samoa.

The Irish were defeated by host nation Japan – who have won all three of their games so far – meaning there's no guarantees of topping the group by this weekend.

All Ireland can do is hold up their end of the bargain and trounce Samoa before Japan head into a crucial showdown with Scotland – providing that game goes ahead.

The game WILL go ahead despite Rugby World Cup matches being cancelled this weekend due to a typhoon in Japan.
