Uruguay is the only Rugby World Cup 2015 team still to score a try this year. I hope we score tomorrow.

Fiji and Uruguay met each other on one occasion in which they were both awarded caps, a 1999 Test match in Italy which Fiji won 39-24.

The former Argentina hooker has succeeded, with Australia showing a marked improvement in the set-piece and the maul during the Rugby Championship. The Welsh win means that England have to beat Australia tomorrow evening at Twickenham.

Regret that they couldn’t finish the job and regret too that they couldn’t have their two best players on the field – wing Nemani Nadolo for a debatable one-week suspension for a tip-tackle, and halfback Nikola Matawalu to injury.

The Welsh squad received a visit from former world boxing champion Joe Calzaghe at their training base on Tuesday evening.

“But his next task is whether he can find the best rugby style for his players”. He is great to watch with a few of the skills he brings to the game.

Australia pinned Fiji back in their half for the opening 10 minutes, but a few forced final passes saw the Wallabies only bag a Foley penalty for their dominance after the islanders strayed offside.

The technology will benefit the Television Match Official (TMO) who will be able to monitor the footage from the cameras. “They shouldn’t have changed it – even though the decision was right”.

England coach Stuart Lancaster admitted his relief after his team started their World Cup campaign with a win.

Former England hooker Brian Moore slammed television match official (TMO) Shaun Veldsman for the length of time he took to make decisions in the Rugby World Cup curtain-raiser.

Lancaster said: “I thought Browny was excellent”. We have to be more direct, we were a little bit lateral.

“They’re not being arrogant, but it’s seven games – you’ve got to think you can win seven games or why are you even going?”
