 CNN/SI - Rugby Union - Australia's World Cup plans in turmoil after loss - Monday August 16, 1999 03:21 PM
However, should South Africa even hope to successfully defend their title, they will need to cut down on the amount of penalties given up, the most basic of errors such as bad passing and fumbling and instead of trying to shine individually pull together as a team.
In short although it is doubtful that they will have much to fear from Ireland, the United States of America and Romania in group play, the men from Down Under run the risk of sinking in the quarterfinals.
Jenkins said that England had now emerged as a genuine contender for the title and in Saturday's test "there was little on display for the English to fear."

A former Welsh international with sixteen caps, Jenkins was signed in October 2004, initially on a month's loan from Peterborough United after the shock sale of Andy Gurney to Swansea, and Paul Mitchell's recall to Wigan.
A freak back injury, sustained when Jenkins was lifting his young child out of a car seat, kept him out of some of the Christmas programme - around this time, he was also being utilised as a central midfielder - a position where he added some much needed bite.
Jenkins found himself in and out of the Town side for the rest of the season - when he did appear, more often than not it was on the right side of a back three, with manager Iffy Onuora trying out a wing-back formation in a desperate attempt to avoid relegation.
