Rugby World Cup: Wallabies fly-half Quade Cooper was sent to the naughty corner for what appeared to be a legitimate tackle.

A try soon followed as the pack took the direct route with a catch and drive from a lineout which concluded with McMahon nipping round the blindside to score on the left.

“He will be playing off the back of no sleep, but I’m sure he’s got a lot of good feelings at the moment and I’m sure that good feeling will flow through for the rest of his life”.

Just two minutes later came the second when Joseph Tomane crossed over for the score.

15′ The TMO is called into action and Quade Cooper is heading to the bin for a clear-out around the neck. He scored the first try of the game when he wheeled round the back to dive over from close range.

73′ He may be brilliant with the ball in hand, but off the tee Cooper is having a shocker. Eleven conversions were attempted. That’s the biggest margin of victory at this World Cup so far.

The Wallabies now head to London with their trousers firmly attached to their waists.
