Cheika is convinced England will open up a bit:

He wants us to open up a bit. That way his bunch of losers have a chance and he might stay in a job.

I would be reading those comments out to the England boys before training this morning...

Hopefully England have learned a little since 1991.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game

I didn't say they were done. What's your point? Are you contending they are not 'losers'. Well they've lost 2 from 2 and the series with it so would be interested in how they are not 'losers' currently...

Not surprised about the change - shame for Harrison, he's been phenomenal for Saints this season but off the pace today

I'm getting a bit excited about having a back line of Youngs, Burns/Williams, Toomua, Tuilagi, Betham, Pietersen and Veianu next season!

He did some really nice things, Elllis, and will be a welcome addition to the Tigers.

He was however overshadowed by his opposite number who was outstanding and Man of the match and Man of the Series.

Farrell stood out more because of his kicking. Toomua is by far the better player and did more with ball in hand than Farrell did.

Having watched the match this morning I must congratulate Dylan Hartly on his superb leadership, can't think of any other player who should captain England at the moment.
I also think Owen Farrell has evolved into a world class player and there is not a team in the world who would not want him playing for them.
