- Wales never take the easy route at Rugby World Cups and their breathless 29-25 triumph on Sunday was no exception.

“I’m pretty happy with the character we showed in the second half,” said Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones, playing a record 130th Test. “We’ve got to pick ourselves back up. We’ll review it. Probably right now recovery’s key. We’ve got a six day turnaround. This sort of format, competition, you’ve got to move on pretty quick.”

With space materialising to his right, Bernard Foley put in a neat cross kick and Adam Ashley-Cooper, playing in his fourth World Cup, cut back inside to score. Given Reece Hodge's three-week suspension for getting into a not dissimilar defensive position against Fiji, the search for consistency over tackle heights at this World Cup is proving distinctly elusive.
