I thought Japan beat them in the last world cup? I see that recognising irony is not one of your strengths! Must have missed it....

England have beaten the Wallabies in their last six matches, so are we due for a defeat in this huge game or can we make it a magnificent seven ? Eddie has picked an excellent team for the must-win match on Saturday.

Jonny May (Leicester Tigers, 49 caps) 10. Owen Farrell (Saracens, 76 caps) C 9. Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers, 92 caps) 1. Mako Vunipola (Saracens, 55 caps) 2. Jamie George (Saracens, 42 caps) 3. Kyle Sinckler (Harlequins, 28 caps) 4. Maro Itoje (Saracens, 31 caps) 5. Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints, 78 caps) 6. Tom Curry (Sale Sharks, 16 caps) 7. Sam Underhill (Bath Rugby, 12 caps) 8. Billy Vunipola (Saracens, 48 caps)
Finishers 16. Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs, 18 caps) 17. Joe Marler (Harlequins, 65 caps) 18. Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers, 92 caps) 19. George Kruis (Saracens, 38 caps) 20. Lewis Ludlam (Northampton Saints, 5 caps) 21. Willi Heinz (Gloucester Rugby, 7 caps) 22. George Ford (Leicester Tigers, 62 caps) 23. Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby, 44 caps)

Big calls in there, especially dropping Ford considering he's playing so well. Surprised by Lawes starting ahead of Kruis as well, thought he would've been an impact sub. Another notable absentee is Jack Nowell, he must be injured again because there's no way he misses out otherwise.

Just hope we're not a bit rusty due to the 2 week gap since the last game. I'm sure Eddie has got the team firing, particularly as it's against the Aussies ! Come on England !

Two brilliant kicks! Stop kicking to their back three! It's a plan, could be dangerous, but we're clearly making them play in their own half to force mistakes and it's working a treat thus far. Aussies are dangerous though.

So far so good. Is it the Kiwis in the semi?

Aussies definitely seem to be targeting Sinckler in the scrum.
England need the next score !
Bugger - Game on !

Australia make too many mistakes. Ruins any momentum they get from their attacking play.

I didn’t realise we had so many black players. Are they all English or “nationalised” Samoan’s 🇼🇸

Absolutely phenomenal performance today by the lads ! Farrell is such a big game player, always turns up with the boot when it matters and I can't fault any of the 15. Special mention to Mako and Slade for their performances considering how little they've played for months 👏👏👏
.. and that's the cherry on the cake !!! WATSON LAD.
