World Cup quarterfinals match-ups

This is when things get serious. Just as the pool stages illustrate the chasm underneath world rugby’s elite, so too do the knockouts advertise the competitiveness within those ranks.

Thanks to Typhoon Habidis, Eddie Jones was denied the opportunity to grind out his kinks against a top-eight side in France. Australia, by contrast, have been error prone and sloppy, but the signs of life are there. Wales very nearly felt the sting of that dynamism and there’s a sense that the Wallabies, as underwhelming as they have been over the past year, have the ability to strike a surprise blow.says: England are the obvious favourites for this one but they might just find themselves weighed down by that tag.

Remember too that few teams have been as good as the Kiwi’s 2016 outfit, who the Irish beat to end a world-record streak in Chicago. Having recorded another win last year, the green bogey is the obvious talking point ahead of this match. He has his on-field vessel and captain Alun Wyn Jones to thank for that. The lock continues to lead from the front and his tackles embody the Welsh ability to break down play and turn the game into a scrap.
