The second day of play saw Jamaica overcoming Tonga with a 66–43 victory. A clinical finish saw Fiji extend their lead to 66–34 by full-time. The late evening session featured Australia against Singapore and a clash of two of Europe’s top sides, Scotland and Northern Ireland. They led 32–10 midway through the second quarter, and their superior pace, precision passing, and physical defence gave Singapore little chance. Australia went on to secure a 92–25 win, underlining their status as favourites in a group also featuring Samoa, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
