No matter how well a player is performing heading into the week, there is always the threat of an early-round upset.

During his early years with the senior national team, Falcao suffered, couldn’t find the net and had to struggle through serious injuries since his days at the under-17 international level.

Tries from Matt Giteau and Juan Smith, along with 13 points from that man Jonny Wilkinson, made it a thoroughly one-sided 23-6 victory.

This overt physical intimidation did serve to wear...
