Australia’s 13-man heroics were almost as popular on Twitter as Brian O’Driscoll’s priestly get-up

One was magnificent, the other could have done with a splash of colour.

Australia showed the watching world, tonight, that they could dogfight with the best of them. Michael Cheika's side topped Pool A with a 15-6 victory over Wales, to ensure they face Scotland in the last eight. The Wallabies made 116 tackles to Wales' 54 as they took just about everything Warren Gatland's injury-cursed troops could throw at them. The most fascinating moments of the match arrived between the 61st and 74th minute when two Aussies - Will Genia and Dean Mumm - were sent to the sin-bin. For eight minutes, during concurrent yellow cards, the Aussies defended their tryline with only 13 men. It was the type of heroism that will surely inspire a song or two. https://twitter.com/NiallOfficial/status/652896752975151105 https://twitter.com/dementedmole/status/652900696589795329 Here are the highlights from a taut encounter: https://youtu.be/JJksK4U2nLM HOWEVER the main talking point, post-match, was Brain O'Driscoll's decision to wear a black silk shirt with a black suit... and no tie. Craig Doyle thought it was a BIG call.
