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 games before a combination of fitness, fatigue and the strength of the big-hitters’ benches enable the favourites to start running riot. These second-half surges have seen plenty of players...
