A spectacular weekend of World Cup rugby saw each of England, Ireland and Scotland win. Wales got in on the act too, notching a thumping victory over Australia to dump Eddie Jones’ side out of the tournament in ruthless fashion, with the Wallabies boss’ future now hanging by a thread.
Steve Borthwick’s England put together an emphatic display against Chile, casting aside notions of unattractive rugby as Henry Arundell scored five tries to propel his nation to a resounding 71-0 win.
Ireland’s showdown with South Africa was contested with the ferocity of a final, which is to be expected when the top two teams in the world go head-to-head, and it was the Irish who came out on top, winning 13-8 after a gripping contest.
Scotland, meanwhile, made sure they weren’t left out, by scoring big in a 45-17 triumph over Tonga. As the clock ticks down towards more Rugby World Cup action later this week, follow Express Sport‘s live updates below…
