The winger made the biggest impact from a South African perspective and led the match stats in all three key attacking areas. He racked up 124m in nine runs, while making three clean breaks and beating an unheard of 11 defenders.

South African born winger and deadly finisher Kotaro Matsushima scored a hattrick for Japan in their 30-10 victory over Russia in the opening game of the World Cup.

Marika Koroibete continued his sensational 2019 form in the wallabies opener. He carried 10 times ran for 125 metres in the game, with four clean breaks and six defenders beaten. And one try against the country of his birth.

Manu Tuilagi was in inspired form against Tonga, almost unplayable as he bulldozed his way to two tries, his presence and fitness can make a big difference to England.

Billy Vunipola is one of world rugby’s most feared ball carriers. So when the burly No.8 was smashed backwards by Tongan flanker forward Zane Kapeli, it sent shockwaves on social media.

All Black wing George Bridge finished a beautifully worked try against Springboks, but this particular video is even better and helps us viewers see rugby in a new light. Brilliant.
