Three of our 5 props went off with suspected injury, and if Jarvis it actually injured, Wales need to call up a hooker. At what point do we call Adam Jones?

Corey Allen is definately, absolutely out for the rest of the tournament, and it looks like we also need to cover Liam Williams at full-back. At what point do we call for.. The man?

Gavin Henson's phone is always on.

I minded the casual jingoism less when they were making some effort to intersperse some 'rugby for beginners' stuff like they did in the Fiji game. Felt acceptable when they were trying to lure new people into the sport. Now that that's fallen by the wayside, it grates again

So, what do we all think of Lancasters decision to play Farrell and Burgess? I assumed if they lost we'd all be saying Lancaster is an idiot, but I don't know.

Burgess and Barritt did what they always do, i.e. run straight forward all the loving time.

This was my problem with the lineup. Any of Farrell Burgess or Barritt would have been defensible selections, but all three of them has zero creativity or ability to get the ball to the wings. All the back three's decent touches came from bad Walves kicking or broken plays.

England could have selected good players like Steffon Armitage, Burell, Slade and Abendanon. But instead pick useless shite like Haskell, Baritt and Burgess. Idiots.

I'm looking forward to the post tournament feeding frenzy where everyone tears that decision apart.

Bath were an RFU sign off from getting Armitage over for the second half of the season, but the RFU wouldn't guarantee the reigning European player of the year a place in the World Cup squad so the deal fell through. Instead we have Burgess.

I do feel bad for Burgess, it's not his fault Lancaster has an inexplicable boner for his 'leadership qualities'

This is the one thing giving me hope for England not getting dumped out. Australia have a home nations capacity for a boneheaded game.
