Talking Points: Day 3


Denied: James Hook’s penalty appeared to go over but was disallowed by the officials. Had the referee referred it to the TMO, Wales may have come away with a famous victory.

Classy Cooper: Quade Cooper put in an entertaining and creative performance against Italy, setting up three of the Australians’ four tries.

Drought over: Ireland ended their three match losing streak with a victory over a very average USA side. Brian O’Driscoll has admitted that his side need ti improve when they face the much fancied Aussies this weekend.

Warrior Warburton: Wales’ captain Sam Warburton put in a man of the match performance against World champions South Africa. The open-side flanker was later described as a ‘pain’ by Springbok captain Smit. 

Straight from the training ground: Digby Ioane’s try against Italy demonstrated why the Wallabies are so dangerous. A perfectly executed set piece move put the Red’s winger in under the posts. Have a watch for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYURnww7vGA
