As Matt Giteau dived over in the corner to give the score an embarrassing hue in the final minute, the majority of the 81, present began to file out in silence. An England team traumatised by their narrow defeat to Wales a week earlier, when they let a point lead slip, were soundly beaten. The home side rallied briefly in the second half after Anthony Watson scored a try to keep them in the match, but dreams of a comeback stalled when fly-half Owen Farrell was sent to the sin bin for the last 10 minutes. For Australia, their fly-half, Bernard Foley, finished with two tries, three conversions and four penalties. Attention is now likely to turn to the future of Lancaster himself, the former teacher who rebuilt the side but has been criticised for his decision-making, and to his captain, Chris Robshaw. With more than 2. However, there will be concerns that some of the momentum of a hitherto successful event will seep away. England hoped the return of the injured Jonathan Joseph, their player of the year, at centre would give them renewed attacking impetus. Just before the minute mark, sustained Australian pressure told when Foley weaved through the England defence to give the visitors a lead. On 34 minutes, he added his second try of the evening following another slick passing move. Rugby World Cup - Wikipedia Bestselling Series. Harry Potter. Popular Features. Home Learning.

Rating details. Book ratings by Goodreads. Goodreads is the world's largest site for readers with over 50 million reviews. The pick of the pools could be Pools A and C. Pool A pits Ireland ranked second in the world against Scotland 6 and hosts Japan 11 as well as Samoa 16 and Russia Only two from each pool can progress through to the quarter-finals. So in these two pools at least one or two top-ranked sides may not go through. The Cup is played for every four years. Winners are awarded the Webb Ellis Cup. It is named for William Webb Ellis who is said to have invented rugby by picking up and running with the ball during a soccer match. Yes, the Women's Rugby World Cup is held every four years. The next tournament is scheduled for but the host has yet to be decided. New Zealand is the most successful women's world rugby team, winning five Cups. England have won twice and the United States once. The big question for New Zealanders is whether the All Blacks can win again, making it three Cups in a row. They are the only team to win two in a row and Until then the Cup had been shared around. There will also be big interest in how the Pacific island teams perform. Many will be hoping Japan will be their time. Of the Northern Hemisphere teams, Ireland, the world number two are a superb team and have been steadily improving all decade, though they have never made it past a quarter-final in the Cup. As always, England will be a team to watch, sometimes for all the wrong reasons. They have been winners , beaten finalists and but also last Cup they failed to make even the knock-out stages and in were pretty dismal in losing in the quarter-finals. Then, of course, there are the perennial performers of world rugby to watch - Australia , Wales, South Africa , Argentina - and the perennial unpredictable performers - France - as well. Another to watch could be hosts Japan. With more than 2. However, there will be concerns that some of the momentum of a hitherto successful event will seep away. England hoped the return of the injured Jonathan Joseph, their player of the year, at centre would give them renewed attacking impetus.
