In Aberdeen Steve
Mafi got a last minute yellow card for a petulant tip over after the
whistle, but it mattered not as Tonga secured a shock 21-15 over the
Scots, their first against a home nation. Marcos Ayerza was not as lucky as Argentina were pummelled by
Ireland 46-17.
At Twickenham some
muddled thinking by both players and management cost England a victory, Toby Flood scored 6 points before
departing early. Manu Tuilagi tried valiantly to keep England in it with a series of
powerful bursts as Dan Cole and Tom Youngs went well. Ben
Youngs and Geoff Parling round
out the England contingent that was close but not good enough.
In Florence Martin
Castrogiovanni and his Italy chums came agonisingly close to a maiden
victory against Australia as they lost 19-22.
In Tbilisi Vereniki Goneva
played at 12 and grabbed a try as Fiji pulled off a close victory 24-19 against
Georgia, confirming a whitewash for the hosts and preventing one for themselves.
