Just watched Uruguay v Australia on delay. Comfortable for Australia, but Cheika's reaction/frustration throughout the game showed just how much he is aware that a performance like that, will not do them any good when we hit the knockout stages!! The big take away from the game (repeated over and over during this tournament) was Martin Gillingham (when he hit the serious commentator button) repeating the fact that Uruguay (as with ALL T2's etc) never play tier one nations, other than at world cups! We know that Martin. Time to stop talking about it, and long past time we, as a rugby community, demanded the IRB DO SOMETHING about it - once and for all! The odd tour here and there by the T - Ones just doesn't cut it!!

It would have been nice if Tonga had beaten France, but it does set up the England V France game as a "winner takes all" game which probably would leave England in a tough quarter final either way. my gut instinct thinks Wales would have to outscore Australia to win Group D.
Are Fiji capable of overturning Wales?

Tonga came so close to another upset (not a shock). A little more discipline and composure might have seen them over the line! England will not be too concerned about facing Le Bleus in the QF on this showing! It was Tonga being so good, though, as the other way around, that saw the score end so close!

Big up Namibia!! Yes ultimately hammered, but lead the AB's for 20 mins or so, and undoubtedly provoked a Hanson 'serve' to his charges at half - time!! and never stopped giving their all!

No games today, but in Rugby world Cup News, Argentinian lock Tomas Lavinini has been given a four game ban after his high tackle on Owen Farrell in the Pumas 39 - 10 defeat. The 26-year-old, who was shown the red card in the 18th minute, is the most sin - binned player in Argentina's history.

I always think it is a slow burner with les Bleus in the pool stages sometimes, but whatever happens I hope we have more than enough to overpower them, but it will be a typical Six Nations type game but with added incentives and hopefully will be exciting and explosive!!
