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 the theme of holding their more illustrious opponents for the first half before the big boys clicked into gear. The power of a strong subs bench is already becoming evident in this tournament. Let’s...

Joe Schmidt’s men are gradually building toward their clutch pool clash against Les Bleus on October 11, and the Ireland coach has made no fewer than 12 changes from the side that drilled Canada 50-7. However, Romania may not be the pushovers some would suggest considering the 728 caps boasted by Lynn Howells’ side this Sunday will be a record-breaking sum for the Pool D minnows. France may have...

Wales took a massive leap toward securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup 2015 on Saturday after beating fierce enemies England in an emotional 28-25 win at Twickenham, London.

The stakes are heating up in Pool A of the Rugby World Cup 2015 as Australia take on Uruguay this Saturday hoping to pile the hurt on their South American opponents. Wallabies coach Michael Cheika has rung the changes for his side’s second outing of the tournament, with Scott Sio the only player remaining from the XV that started in Wednesday’s 28-13 win against Fiji. Uruguay head coach Pablo Lemoine, on the other hand, has made just four changes to his lineup following the 54-9 drubbing at the hands of Wales last Sunday. Although Cheika may look upon this as a second-string setup,...

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 to win the Webb Ellis Cup and hosting the tournament for the first time in 24 years. But it seems equally inconceivable that Wales should be heading for the M4 before the knockout stages. Warren...

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 effect. A 54-9 rout ensued, showing Argentina’s potential quarter-final opponents just how dangerous they are as they focus on surpassing the semi-final feats of the class of 2007. Georgia...
