A miserable weekend for Northern Hemisphere rugby was wrapped up as Scotland saw their World Cup semi-final hopes dramatically snuffed out by Bernard Foley's last-gasp kick at Twickenham.

After Ireland crashed out of the tournament earlier on Sunday, Vern Cotter's team made it a clean sweep as Australia highlighted the extent of the dominance growing south of the equator.

Their 35-34 win means, for the first time ever, the RBS 6 Nations will have no representatives in the last four.

It was a more convincing victory as Argentina dumped the Irish out of the World Cup for the third time as a 10-minute, two-try salvo floored Joe Schmidt's battered and shattered side at the Millennium Stadium.

The Pumas ensured Ireland's sixth quarter-final went the same way as the first five - hugely galling defeat, with Daniel Hourcade's men prevailing 43-20.
