One was magnificent, the other could have done with a splash of colour.
Australia showed the watching world, tonight, that they could dogfight with the best of them.
Michael Cheika's side topped Pool A with a 15-6 victory over Wales, to ensure they face Scotland in the last eight.
The Wallabies made 116 tackles to Wales' 54 as they took just about everything Warren Gatland's injury-cursed troops could throw at them.
The most fascinating moments of the match arrived between the 61st and 74th minute when two Aussies - Will Genia and Dean Mumm - were sent to the sin-bin.
For eight minutes, during concurrent yellow cards, the Aussies defended their tryline with only 13 men.
It was the type of heroism that will surely inspire a song or two.

Here are the highlights from a taut encounter:

HOWEVER the main talking point, post-match, was Brain O'Driscoll's decision to wear a black silk shirt with a black suit... and no tie.
Craig Doyle thought it was a BIG call.
