Victorious in the last Six Nations Tournament, Ireland now has 16 victories in a row before its final group match once morest Scotland on October 7.

The latter may regret the three penalties and the missed transformation, by Mannie Libbok and Faf de Klerk. Especially since opposite Johnny Sexton, the best scorer in the history of Irish rugby, scored a conversion and a penalty for his 116th selection at the age of 38.
English festival

The young (20 year old) prodigy Henry Arundell became the third player to score a quintuple in a World Cup match, behind the historic sextuptle of New Zealander Marc Ellis, in 1995.
The XV de la Rose, almost in the quarter-finals now following this third victory, will play their last group match on October 7 once morest Samoa.
