Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from Thursday’s Games

The World Cup was back in action with two games on Thursday that saw two sides take major steps towards the quarter-finals. Wales overcame a short turnaround time between games to record a 23-13 win over Fiji, who never made life easy for Warren Gatland’s men. And France saw off the brave challenge of Canada with a bonus-point 41-18 win in Milton Keynes. Both sides move to three wins of three,... 

France vs. Canada: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup 2015 Game

France go in search of a third straight win in Pool D of the Rugby World Cup 2015 tonight against a Canada side still wondering what might have been following their glorious defeat to Italy. Victory for Les Bleus would make them the first side in the competition to reach three wins from three and keep them firmly on course for what looks set to be a pool-clinching clash with Ireland in the final round... 

Wales vs. Fiji: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup 2015 Game

A short turnaround for Wales will see a patched-up side take on Fiji in the Rugby World Cup 2015 on Thursday, with the Islanders still searching for their first win of the tournament. World Cup history between these two includes a major upset sprung by the Fijians in Nantes, France, in 2007 when they came from behind in a harum-scarum contest. It ended 38-34 to Fiji, sending them through to the quarter-finals... 

Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from Tonga vs. Namibia

Tonga recorded their first World Cup win of 2015 with a 32-21 victory over Namibia. The Pacific Islanders also recorded a bonus point to move third in the pool with New Zealand and Argentina still to play. Namibia went down swinging, scoring more tries in a World Cup game than they ever have before, and impressed their country’s most successful sportsman, Frankie Fredericks, who was watching... 

Rugby World Cup 2015: Best XV of Week 2

No earth-tilting shocks to report from Week 2 of the Rugby World Cup 2015 in England. There was just one very high-profile smash-and-grab down in TW2 and a number of highly entertaining clashes up and down the land. The patter for the minnows seems to have settled after Japan’s shock victory over the Springboks. We have seen almost every other smaller nation compete for 40 or 50 minutes of their... 

Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from Sunday’s Three Games

The second Sunday of the Rugby World Cup featured three contests between Tier One teams and minnows, and the form book was not ripped up this time. Australia, Scotland and Ireland all processed wins with maximum points to remain on course for the bigger tests to come. Packed stadiums in Leeds, Birmingham and London witnessed plenty of tries and no shortage of endeavours from the underdogs, who continued... 

England vs. Wales: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup Game

It’s crunch time for England and Wales as they clash at Twickenham, London, in the biggest game of the Rugby World Cup 2015 so far. Just one week in, the presence of these two and Australia in Pool A has brought the section to a boil already, with the loser of today’s contest potentially facing an early exit. That would be unthinkable for Stuart Lancaster’s England side, second favourites... 

Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from Argentina vs. Georgia

Argentina bounced back in emphatic fashion to put Georgia to the sword in their second Pool C encounter of the Rugby World Cup 2015. The Pumas needed to win after defeat to the All Blacks, and they were only marginally in command at half-time, leading 14-9. But they cashed in ruthlessly in the second half when the Lelos went down to 14 men for 10 minutes, unleashing their jet-heeled wings to devastating... 

Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from New Zealand vs. Namibia

New Zealand ran in nine tries as they brushed aside a brave Nambian effort with a 58-14 win in Pool C, securing their second Rugby World Cup 2015 victory. The All Blacks weren’t quite as fluid as they would have hoped against the minnows of the section, but the much-changed lineup got the job done. Phil Davies’ team made life difficult for periods of the contest, which demonstrated the... 

New Zealand vs. Namibia: Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for Rugby World Cup Game

Top plays bottom at the Olympic Stadium on Thursday when world No. 1 New Zealand take on the lowest-ranked side in the competition, Namibia.

It’s a first run-out for the Namibians and a second Pool C game for the World Champions following their unimpressive opening win over Argentina. Such...
