So England rejected perpetual check and lost.
Who did they think they were - Japan?
Good luck to Wales now. England probably won't make the quarter-final of their own tournament after a match they should have won at an earlier stage.

Re: England-Wales at Twickenham
It would have been a difficult kick, but a much better percentage chance of success than scoring from a lineout drive, as events proved. However, all is not yet lost. England, Australia and Wales are all closely matched teams, and I don't think there is a clear favourite for the game next week.
