Rugby World Cup 2015: Winners and Losers from Australia vs. Scotland

Scotland came within one minute of being the only European team to make this year’s Rugby World Cup semi-final lineup, but an 80th-minute Bernard Foley penalty saw Australia to a 35-34 victory at Twickenham. Sunday’s result means not a single northern hemisphere team has made the final four of the competition for the first time in its history, with the Wallabies now poised to meet Argentina next Sunday. The London audience was treated to an end-to-end encounter of the most dramatic variety, where for a brief spell, it looked as though Vern Cotter’s side would complete their earth-shattering... 

Australia vs. Scotland: Score, Reaction from Rugby World Cup 2015 Quarter-Final

A controversial last-minute penalty for Australia handed them a 35-34 victory over Scotland at Twickenham in a thrilling last quarter-final of the 2015 Rugby World Cup to join New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina in an all-Southern Hemisphere final four. Peter Horne went over to help the Scots to an early lead, but Michael Hooper, Drew Mitchell and Adam Ashley-Cooper all scored tries in the first half to narrow the gap to one point. A second from Mitchell and a try from Tevita Kuridrani put the Australians in a strong position, but Tommy Seymour and a late touch down from Mark Bennett... 

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

Argentina beat Ireland 43-20 to set up a semi-final against the winners of Australia vs. Scotland. Ireland were missing key players and could not match the Pumas’ intensity. As a result, their defence wilted. Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has had two years at the helm, and his vision has made the Pumas a potent offensive threat. Always thinking, he made a couple of risky calls against Ireland but was thoroughly vindicated. Ireland’s loss means the northern hemisphere is relying on an almighty upset from the Scots to have any representatives in the last four of Rugby World Cup... 

Ireland vs. Argentina: Score, Reaction from Rugby World Cup 2015 Quarter-Final

Argentina withstood an almighty comeback attempt to defeat Ireland 43-20 at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday, booking their place in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup 2015 thanks in part to a brace of tries from Juan Imhoff. The Pumas rampaged into a 17-0 lead early on, with Matias Moroni and Imhoff crossing the whitewash. However, Ireland staged a second-half rally and got back to within three points thanks to tries from substitute Luke Fitzgerald and Jordi Murphy. Ultimately, Argentina were the better side, though, and they found another gear to pull away with 12 minutes remaining...

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

New Zealand devastated France 62-13 on Saturday evening as Steve Hansen’s side ran in no fewer than nine tries to demolish their opponents and set up a semi-final tie opposite South Africa. Julian Savea was elected man of the match for his hat-trick of tries, but the star performance spread far and wide, with the All Blacks beating their previous best of points put past Les Bleus. The result means the Philippe Saint-Andre era comes to a most underwhelming close for France, and if ever there were a time to start afresh, this would most certainly seem like it. Read on for a selection of the...
