Over to you England. Have you got the game, the bottle and the ideas to beat the Wallabies and stay in a desperate scramble to qualify for the World Cup playoffs.
Predictions about the tension in Pool A have been on the mark as Wales continued their march with
a gritty 23-13 win against Fiji today in Cardiff, a victory which continues to pile further pressure on pool hosts England.
All sorts of excuses had been prepared for Wales if they had come unstuck after their gallant last match triumph against England and while they looked weary, they brought enough resilience to find the necessary result.
Fiji asked them plenty of questions, especially when the game broke open and they were able to use their offloads and inventive interplay to find space. They also showed their hosts up in the scrum but it was in the crucial plays where Wales found their escape route.
They began extra well and halfback Gareth Davies used a massive period of pressure to dummy and dive across the try line while near the end of the half, hooker Scott Baldwin burrowed over after another strong Wales foray.
