Injury-hit Wales stunned England in a dramatic late win at Twickenham at the Rugby World Cup 2015 on Saturday to leave the hosts in a precarious position in Pool A.

South Africa bounced back from their shock defeat to Japan thanks to Jon-Paul Pietersen's hat-trick against Samoa. Earlier, Italy narrowly overcame a spirited Canada side to register their first win.

Here are all the results from Saturday:



England 25-28 Wales England's crunch showdown with Wales was largely contested by some outstanding kicking from fly-half Owen Farrell and outside-half Dan Biggar.

The pair exchanged some early penalties with Wales twice leading by three points, before Farrell scuffed a drop-goal between the posts from 40 metres out to make it 6-6.

Another penalty for Farrell put the hosts ahead for the first time in the match 24 minutes in, and England extended their lead through a try from Jonny May after Ben Youngs reacted well to recycle the ball with an excellent pass, per ITV Rugby:



Another Biggar penalty reduced the arrears and the teams went in at 16-9 after a hard-fought opening 40 minutes.

The second half began much as the first as Farrell alternated two penalties from Biggar. ITV Rugby highlighted the incredible kicking punctuating in the match:



Biggar hit another to close within four points of England, before Wales' staggering injury curse reared its ugly head once again—the Guardian's Dan Lucas reports that Scott Williams, Liam Williams and Hallam Amos were all taken off in quick succession in the final quarter.

Things looked to be heading England's way when Farrell restored a seven-point gap, but the visitors showed remarkable resilience and levelled the scores through a Gareth Davies try between the posts, before edging ahead thanks to a seventh penalty from Biggar late on.
