VIDEO: Lesser lights illuminate Rugby World Cup’s opening week

All in all, it’s been the best opening week we could have asked for. Certainly, as Rugby World Cups go. 

Full or near-full houses all round, a minor tremor in Gloucester where Georgia did Tonga up like a kipper, Japan’s potentially game-changing defeat of the Springboks in Brighton and a tectonic clash between New Zealand and Argentina in Wembley.

We’ll overlook Namibia’s engagement with the All Blacks last night for now.
