Some battle from start to finish. War of attrition

Great win for Ireland - those missed conversions for SA though

Ireland / SA was proper grown-up rugby. Incredible intensity. Difficult to see anyone beating either before the final, but NZ and France may have something to say about that. Anyone else gets steamrollered.

A shame 2 of those teams will go out in the QFs

They've made the interpretation of a forward pass much more complicated now to favour the attacking team. All this bollocks about throwing an apple out of a moving car, and hands moving backwards when the ball is passed. It used to be much simpler when if the ball arrived at a point in front of where it was released, it's a forward pass. Used to be easy, now it's a mess.

Christ almighty Australia are terrible

Great from Wales, but knowing from the 6Ns how limited this Wales team is, this is an absolute shocker for Eddie Jones and Co

Based on how Eddie has talked in the build up, he sort of has to be sacked
