Sonny Bill-Winger: Graham Henry had hinted that SBW may be used in other positions in the All Black backline; his appearance on the wing during NZ’s thirteen try win over Japan will be strike fear into the rest of the competition.
Irish eyes smiling: Ireland’s win was their first against Australia in World Cup history and blows the draw wide open. We all knew that Ireland had a performance in them, but few expected them to come out on top against the Wallabies.
Moody returns: Lewis Moody returns to captain England in their group stage encounter with Georgia tomorrow morning. England have made eight changes to the side that started against Argentina, with Toby Flood starting at fly-half.
Geographical draw: Ireland’s win over Australia has given the potential quarter final draw a geographical divide. Barring any shock results, Ireland will face Wales/Samoa with England playing France. New Zealand will play Argentina with South Africa facing Australia to complete a northern-southern
hemisphere divide.
