POOL C
Pool C saw the biggest shock of the cup so far, Portugal set about their match against Scotland and Inside centre Pinto scored all 17 points in their 17-13 victory. The game was a good one and although the Scottish had much of the possesion vision and pace saw Pinto win the game for Portugal. And with this he would win player of the stage, BUT, Bergamasco ran over 7 tries as he scored all 7 for Italy in their win over Romania. He ran so well and destroyed the defense playing at outside centre for the most part of the game. With this he won player of the stage.
POOL D
Pool D saw France defeat Argentina in the opening world cup game and Ireland smash Namibia with tries to their name. The pool was a predictable one for the stage although Argentina did put a fight up to France. Player of the stage is O'Driscoll for two tries and an awesome running game of rugby.

Key Man
With Butch James taking full-back Montgomery is playing at fly half and this gives him the ability to run the game against a weak English side. His amazing kicking game and ability to run the ball was shown against Samoa in their opening game with a try, 2 penalties and conversions gave him 15 points and he led South Africa to a solid victory. If England are to produce a fight today they will have to stop Montgomery

KEY MAN
Jonny Wilkinson for England is the key man. He will be the one who will lead England to victory and from the position of fly-half he will have to produce a very good kicking game to gain victory. Lets hope for England that he has the same sort of game that he produced in the 2003 final.
JAZTHEMAN is correct with Jonah Lomu having the most tries in an individual world cup. Howlett scored 7 whereas Lomu score 8 in 99. So far with two games played Italy's Bergamasco has 7 tries and needs only 1 to break the record!!!
