Well played Australia, and especially Pocock and Hooper, you absolutely whipped our arses.
Dai - ""next weeks game will have us as clear underdogs"" IMO that is EXACTLY why the positions of England captain and coach SHOULD be up for review... if we'd have kicked that penalty last week we'd still be favourites to progress.

Just back in from the pub. Genuinely disappointed that England have jilted us at the QF altar. What were you up to?!

Nelly, that may be the case for the England hierarchy to deal with, it,s the "delight" that the media seem to me to display that I think is distasteful. Maybe that,s a better expression of my feeling.
Remember that Wales dispensed with Gareth Jenkins in a car park discussion. That was particularly unseemly and appeared to be a reaction to media calls for action, rather than considered review and then after that process make a decision.

We got slaughtered at the breakdown while the best breakdown operator in the Northern hemisphere, Armitage, is English but exiled for playing in France. Giteau, who also plays in France, scored Australia's 3rd try.

So foolish. We used to suffer from that parochialism -oh, you've gained huge experience by playing in the English Premiership? Sorry we'd rather pick a guy who's only ever played in the Central Belt
Meanwhile, we're very much enjoying a re-run of Canada/France atm. Great game.

I'm not sure if I've seen much media delight, but then I've been avoiding the media coverage because it's been s***e since before the Wales game.
TRO, I said exactly the same on Facebook.

I found the 'apologies to the nation' last night from Bomber and Robshaw disturbing. They'll have given everything, and just imagine how thet feel. Nice guys, unfortunately found themselves in a gunfight armed with a knife.
Not sure where we should go from here, they should go on holiday; rest of us should enjoy the rest of a great tourno. Media should lay off.
I'm looking forward to my Wales - Scotland Qtr...:-):-):-)

Lucozade Sport have been running a 'win a home nations jersey' competition over the past month or so. Let's just say, my bottles have been binned before I get home from my training runs as I can't be bothered trying to win something that has 'loser' linked to it.
