The party no one wants to go to will take place at the Etihad Stadium tonight when England bring the curtain down on a miserable World Cup campaign. As the post-mortem continues into how they managed to turf themselves out of their own tournament at the earliest available opportunity, England’s much-maligned players have to take to the field to complete the formalities against Uruguay, before they can head for the fancy dress shop and stock up on decent disguises.

Australia vs. Wales: Preview, Live Stream and TV Info for RWC 2015 Game

Wales and Australia go to battle on Saturday for the right to top Pool A in the Rugby World Cup 2015. The Pool winners will avoid South Africa in the quarter-finals and play either Scotland or Japan, so the carrot is sizeable for both sides. Warren Gatland’s squad is still carrying a number of injuries and have a poor record against the Wallabies. You have to go back 11 games between the two to find a Welsh victory, a 21-18 win in Cardiff, Wales, in 2008, which is only their second success against Australia in 10 years. Australia, having dumped hosts England out, have seen their odds slashed...
