RWC: Wallabies unimpressive in 68-22 win over Russia

Australia's woes at the Rugby World Cup aren't quite finished yet, conceding three tries to the modest attack of Russia in the 68-22 win on Saturday and losing winger Drew Mitchell to a hamstring injury that could end his tournament.



"Overall we're happy to get the win," Australia captain James Horwill said. "At the back end, things didn't go the way we wanted them to.

"We knew they'd come out with a very spirited performance, and they did that. That was the last game of their first World Cup, so we knew they'd be very spirited. Full credit to them, they've done their country very proud."

The Wallabies scored 10 tries but only won the second half 21-17 in wet conditions at Trafalgar Park in a disjointed display against the World Cup novices.
