Owen Farrell is such a sharpshooter that's it is scary. Best not to offend when in your own half because he'll slot it, no worries.

Look at this try from Kyle Sinckler, his first try in International rugby.
He has been immense for England of late and this score was simply no different. Great to see from the player.

England scored a try in the last 5 minutes of the match which was enough to send Australia out of the World Cup in the final few minutes.
It will be a sad end for Australia, a team that has been through so much heading into this tournament.
This sets up a possible semi-final clash for England against either New Zealand or Australia
The memes have already been brilliant in this match, just look at this meme here.
You have to question the wisdom of letting minnows into the quarter final of the #RWC19 Australia getting the boot #ENGvAUS pic.twitter.com/Dnhv6zapXc

People were lost by the style of play that Australia took on in this match

The @wallabies are shooting themselves in the foot in their own half, don’t be afraid to boot it boys! #ENGvAUS
Paul Williams
Wallabies have got the offload button stuck down. I love an offload. But this is mental.

Tuilagi has missed a few tackles already. Farrell lucky it wasn’t a penalty. Does well initially and unlucky with the knock on. Dodgy territory when he plays the ball after that. #ENGvAUS
Brendan Nel
Even for the neutral its hard not to see the English dominance growing here. Not just on the scoreboard. But everywhere on the field #ENGvAUS #RWC2019
