Statistics - RWC, Day 19

Argentina decided to beat Ireland and top their pool, meaning that France will play the All Blacks in Cardiff while they play Scotland in Paris. We have statistics from the day’s three matches – France vs Georgia, Argentina vs Ireland and South Africa vs the USA.

We also give some Rugby World Cup stats accumulatively.

Sanctions

Carl Hayman of New Zealand became the first recipient of a yellow card. He was not the only one.

There were sanctionary cards on this day – for Dan Cheever of the USA and Revaz Gigauri of Georgia but it may have been a case of mistaken identity as the perpetrator of the spear tackle was Otar Eloshvili.
