'Stunning sporting effort from all teams'
The first weekend of Rugby World Cup 2011 ended with reigning champions South Africa edging past Wales thanks to a late try from Francois Hougaard.
The replacement back's impact was just one of many talking points from the first eight matches, which also saw wins for hosts New Zealand, Scotland, Fiji, France, England, Australia and Ireland.
