England, Ireland and Scotland all won at the weekend as part of an entertaining Rugby World Cup spectacle. Wales also got in on the act by thumping Australia to dump Eddie Jones’ side out of the tournament in ruthless fashion, with the Wallabies boss now facing tough questions over his future.
Chile were on the wrong end of a hammering from England, who disspelled notions of unattractive rugby with their free-flowing performance. Henry Arundell came up with five tries to propel Steve Borthwick and co to a 71-0 win.
Ireland vs South Africa had the feel of a final, which is not surprising given the calibre of teams on show. The Springboks are now licking their wounds after a hard-fought 13-8 defeat.
Meanwhile, Scotland’s 45-17 win over Tonga meant they got their first win on the board, having been defeated by South Africa first time out.
