What a crazy match... England led 24-3 in about 20 minutes then imploded as it swung around completely. Kolisi unleashed his dragons, it seems, debutant Nkosi chief among them. Defences were largely non-existent and England’s pack were toothless. 4 defeats on the spin now, 5 including the Barbarians game. I wouldn’t back us to get out of the group if the World Cup was this year!

Australia just got home against the Irish second xv 18-9 while the AB's thrashed the frogs scoring seven second half tries after France lead at the half.

Ireland two points up at the half due to Australia's ill discipline. 16-14

Ireland's lineouts are shithouse. And the ref is just as bad.

So our cricketers are now the only national team to have a chance of winning tonight.

There were actually good odds on the three bad results. Guess we'll have to wait a bit.

Another flying start from England but the Yarps soon back in it. We’ve got plenty of attacking threat, but defence and discipline have gone down the toilet recently.

We are crap at the breakdown and have been for about a decade or two. The all blacks are going to carve us up.

Eddie Jones won’t make it to the World Cup at this rate. We lost the final 67 minutes 23-0.

They need to start being ruthless with the players conceding stupid penalties and just sending them on the next flight home.

Well, the Wobblies would eat the wilting red roses for breakfast right now...

On current form there’s no way we would get out of the group, against France and Argentina. Tonga and the Yanks (who beat a Scottish second string yesterday) would fancy their chances as well!

It’s reached the stage of players confronting fans and walking out of TV interviews. Looks like the point of no return. SOS call to Sir Clive perhaps?

The problem with current rugby players is we'll let anyone into our education system.

A quite remarkable freefall for this team and coach ...

Ireland just hold on to take the deciding game. Good game ruined by aweful refereeing.

Sad to see Sam Warburton retire at just 29... injuries and miles on the clock took their toll in the end, and the World Cup was a step too far for the former Wales and Lions captain.

The Welsh were quite competitive with an unfamiliar looking side in the Six Nations and summer, so maybe they are moving on from that generation anyway, though would be a brave coach to go to Japan without Halfpenny, AWJ etc.

Well, we scraped past See-ya Khaleesi and his Yarps somehow, after being thoroughly outplayed early on.

All Blacks will be an altogether different test, but at least there will be no autumn whitewash against the Southern Hemisphere powers.

A second-string Ireland still put 50 points on Italy in Chicago, while Wales beat an injury-hit Scotland.

Bizarre game. Boks should have been 20 up at half time. Then the referee bottled it at the end.
