3 players that impressed in Wales vs Australia

Ashley-Cooper gave an all round top class performance in his nation's victory over Wales. When Wales looked nearly certain to score as Australia were weakened to 13 men it was Cooper who turned the tide with a crunching tackle which lead to an Australian penalty. This was the turning point which gave the Wallabies the momentum to finish the job at Twickenham.

Scrum half Gareth Davies, despite being on the loosing team, earned himself a man of the match award. He looked ever threatening from the fringes over the breakdown and brought great speed to the Welsh attack. He is certainly one to watch as Wales go into their quarter final clash with South Africa.

Loosehead prop Scott Sio was a rock in the Australian front row. The Welsh were obliterated by the Wallabies at scrum time and this Sio was a key factor. The Australian scrum has improved massively of late. This was seen last week against England and again today. With Sio dominating at the scrum as he did today Australia will confident with this area of their game.
