Discipline is absolutely paramount tonight England. No stupid penalties. Give a performance worthy of the hosts of the World Cup.

If I were England coach, I'd fine any #9 that box kicked it.

Every single time it's a waste.

First scrum was worrying - Aussies held their own.

Oz runners with ball in hand very strong in the contact, forcing our tacklers back.  Fitness will be key later on, hope we have the stamina.  But they look like breaking through whenever they attack - and that try was too easy as well.

We need to hang on to possession as much as we can, starve them of the ball.

We are playing some decent rugby ourselves, Aussies a bit lucky on a couple of occasions. Our defence is a worry though.

Referee is a worry. Every scrum so far should have been a penalty to England. Referee reluctant to give it

There's a little bit of the pre-2003 about us - we look good, until we get to their 22, then we huff and puff and can't blow the house down.  It's like the SH mental block is back.

Pocock is superb at turning ball over at the breakdown.  We lose momentum quite quickly going forward.

We have no chance with a referee incorrectly interpreting the scrum

Not looking good is it?  Why do Villa and England have to play on the same day?  Just compounded misery.

Brilliant. 14 points down and just kick it out of play
