Rub it in why don’t you.

Time for a major clearout in England.
Playing farrell should never had happened. And most of the team haven’t turned up for the matches. SL to go. AF should hold a fair bit due to the nepotism.
England just didn’t play well enough at all.
Aus should make it a long way off not the final surely

Oh FFS, what a **** disaster England have been. Sorry England fans – I’d have liked them to stay in the tournament. They just weren’t good enough. No plastique gloat boating from me. One assumes Lancaster is writing his resignation letter.

Like I said at half time… 20 innit

I reckon that England were very lucky with the ref tonight. Before now he’s carded the Welsh front row for collapsing twice – tonight he allowed Marler alone three collapses and six penalties in total against the English scrum. No yellow, Mr Poite? 🙄 And why was Coles not even talked to after taking Foley off the ball, as the TMO said. Foley was quite capable of catching that ball, and what are the chances of Australia scoring against a disorganised English defence? But he didn’t even look at Coles. Yet another 🙄 for Poite the twit.

The commentators tonight were appallingly bad.

Prepared to be disappointed…

How was that high tackle not at least a yellow? To go with the other one.

You could hear the ref wasn’t buying it either, kept going back to the video official and asking questions, was quite funny. “What’s your recommendation.” “Penalty kick.” “AND?” “Er, yellow card?” “OK”

Didn’t see the whole match but I thought England were perfectly OK, no shame in being beaten by a better side.

Loving the studio discussion, entirely about England. You’d swear that there wasn’t another team on the pitch to beat them.

Damn, it’s Robshaw not Mr Sulk.

That was one of the best Oz performances ever.
Best I can remember watching, anyway. Load of credit due to their players and coaching team.
No shame in losing to that performance, it was class.

that bit was a bit of a joke for me. there seemed to something of a language barrier. are they only allowed to communicate in sentences of less than 5 words?
having the stop-start game as it is now with the TMO and all the camera angles just shows how farcical the rules of rugby are. can’t they make it simpler? or at least the players more intelligent?

Wilko is talking about an amazING group of players and coaches. Which are those? Also saying it came too soon, well they’ve had 4 years, if they’d gone about it properly that’s quite a long time.

So does anyone have a clue how good or bad Lancaster is as a coach? He’s been handicapped by having Farrell and the nepotism involved in that, and then the Burgess affair. Has he been allowed to select his own staff or have they been imposed on him? Ditto, team selection?

then OZ again in the final

or Ireland 😉

Be fair.

England, Wales and Australia are all pretty decent outfits, and one of them had to go out.

As a Scot, I wouldn’t have fancied my chances in that group (and we may yet join the Englanders with our team watching the second round from the bar).

Well done Wales & Australia, commiserations England. I think Jonny Wilkinson put it well – England are building a good team, it’s just not there yet; possibly not the time to rip it all up and start again.

😆

yeah, not those decisions. the comment was more in general.

In the Aussie world cup, many Irish, Scottish and Welsh supporters backed England as the tournament progressed.

So, England fans, don’t mope around! Support Wales or Ireland from now on! Whoever gets furthest shall be your team as well!

(Sorry, Scotland. Just can’t see it! ;- ) )
