In most sports, you look at where there's a weakness and try to get it sorted before your next opponent exploits it. In England's case, they were not fixed and we got punished:
v. Fiji - too many turnovers
v. Wales - endless penalties at the breakdown due to indiscipline
v. Australia - hopelessly outplayed

eL Bee!
That's what Australia did!
Scrum and set piece was tight and unrecognisable from the shambles it has traditionally been - and it provided a foundation to run England all over the Park!

It was always going to be hard to get out of this group though. Any other group and the walk it.
England have the backs to play 15 man rugby imo.

But Phil those are new problems each game 
Robshaw I've never, warmed too or embraced. Lancaster I could support through the next six nations.
I just want to enjoy the rest of the world cup and my £62.50 winnings from last night.

^ agree as a rugby fan we can enjoy the rest of the RWC without England
Just bitterly disappointed by the early exit
I think as it unravels it will be said that burgess' inclusion presented to many selection problems elsewhere. I don't want to get into Farell /ford debate again, you know where I stand on it
A silver libbing for me is that bath hey all the guys back early and relatively uninjured in time for the premises.

Stop making excuses, all things a decent coach and backroom staff can put right.
Lancaster is a failure.
Get rid.

I'm amazed - and rather saddened - by how polarised England fans have been by the team's exit. Everything from "gutted but referencing the 1999 World Cup" to "disgrace...ashamed....abysmal". And neither willing to concede the other's point of view.
