I never thought I would live to see the day when an English pack was monstered by an Aussie one.
Their pack has been improving for some time in the 'Championship' but still didn't expect them to dominate us in the way they did.

Hope we can go on and win this now. Foley was class.
England aren't *that* bad so to hammer them like Aus did probably puts this as the second best performance of the tournament after Japan.

And probably the best of the the major teams.

All of this

The 203 team played for each other and the love of the game,I have no idea why these guys play. Both Australia and Wales wanted it more. Both played better than us (especially Australia).

The whole management team need changing, we need some players willing to drive forward.

Ozzie half back were sublime, a masterclass In counter rucking. The only player I saw counter ruck from England was Mike brown in the last five minutes.

Scrum was a disaster and shouldn't have been

At no point did it look like England had a game plan to beat Australia nor knew what their weaknesses were.

Australia look like the best side in the tournament, and we just got shown up as pretenders. Outplayed in the set pieces, the breakdown and in the backs. Can't win a game from there.

Southern hemi 3 plus Ireland in the semis.

Indeed. As I said earlier, the English football and rugby teams are now equal in their lack of ability.
You can include arrogance in that as well.
We were crap, but I've not seen any arrogance.

Out thought on and off the pitch. Just not good enough.

May say more later. Australia were very good.

Well looks like I was right to be worried. I knew that Aus Pack looked a lot lot better than it has previously!
The pack had fk all to do with the crim tries in the first half
Seriously Hornet? You think those two tries were the cause not the symptom?

And have a care - I'm the bloke who trumpets the Aus back line as the best in the world and they *are* going to score tries against you. Look back at my post earlier this week about when Aus have a properly good team - their back line you take as read as being good. Its their Pack being able to compete fully that turns them from being good enough to being genuinely able to win the WC and Rugby Championship.

England got humiliated up front tonight. Beaten, whipped and taken apart. Its quite possibly a good thing in the long term, we need to re-invent ourselves.

True, I didn't expect their scrum to be so good.

Booing the kicker was quite endearing also.
That's just temporary World Cup "fans". Twickenham is always completely respectful usually.

Respect is due. Johnny Wilkinson is about the best rugby pundit I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. His insight is fantastic and he cuts straight to the point.

Slight over reaction I think - had Farrell kicked the 3 pointer last week Eng would still be in it.

I'd be surprised if they don't win the tournament with more performances like that.

Yes seriously DJ. Yes there were some pens awarded scrumtime 2nd half but the crims demolished you in the back line throughout.
