Ben Youngs has been terrible, this is 2 world cups in a row where he's stunk it out.

Surely that should have at least been a yellow

I think we should bring Cipriani, Burrell, Tuilagi and Steffan Armitage on.

Oh wait we can't, because of pathetic selection decisions.

At least Barritt has justified his place in the team for his defence

Fiji's defence put up a MUCH stronger resistance against Australia than ours has

I agree, some of his decision making is just bloody dire, he never seems to stop and think for two seconds. We are way off it, Australia miles better, their physicality and superior speed of thought are playing us off the park. We look like a Sunday league team

Goodbye England.  Can't quite think of a host stinking out their own tournament as much as this lot have, considering how good they're "supposed" to be.

Even I with my rudimentary grasp of rubgy could see the weakness of our scrum would see us caught out. The team look fragile and with little belief. This could be a hammering.

Armitage in the team and we'd be leading, they're finding it too easy to slow it down.

Ah well at least won't have a path unwanted record like being the first Host to go out in the groups. Wait...

Since 2003 though, no coach has ever seemingly selected the right players.  It's like we have this world class XV of non-picked players, if only coach X, Y or Z could only see ....

Maybe the premiership just produces brainless robotic players with no bottle and poor skills?

I can't imagine this England teaming scoring a try like the second Australian score.

We played some nice rugby in the 6N this year, but we've regressed horribly since then.

Must score early. First 5 mins or so.

My rugby knowledge is a bit limited, but we look a bit like the national footy team when they come up aginst anyone any good. Or Villa, a bit clueless

No way as bad as the Villa.
