A lot achieved, a lot still left to be done

After last weekend, the World Cup just can’t come soon enough.

The mesmerising quality of rugby on show, with teams forced to go for broke in the search of tries, will surely convince the likes of Ireland, England, Wales and France that they have the qualities to match the handling skills, pace and ingenuity of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
