Glass half full or half empty? Tension ahead of the big game. Come on England

Teams emerging to a thunderous roar from the home crowd!

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 6:57:05 PM
Jonathan Joseph, who returns at outside centre, and Full-back Mike Brown got some of the biggest cheers when the England team were announced to a packed Twickenham crowd. Must be hoping for some attacking flair from the men in white.

This is make or break for England after that shattering loss to Wales a week ago. Win tonight and their World Cup dream lives on. Lose and it's the ignominy of being the first main host nation to fail to make the quarter-finals.

Plenty of noise from the #ENG and #AUS fans here as the big screen shows their teams heading out.

Deafening rendition of "God Save The Queen"!

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 6:59:23 PM
Lots of Australian support at Twickenham too, judging by the singing of Australia's national anthem.

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 7:01:10 PM
England to kick off. Here we go!

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 7:01:54 PM
Nice to see England rugby players belting out the national anthem, unlike footy players

Monster tackle by Hooper on Owen Farrell but the Australian knocks
on. Scrum England.

Huge hit on Farrell in first minute... Australia set their stall out... Ouch

Over-cooked kick by Ben Youngs goes dead after England attacked in a promising position. Scrum Australia.

Ouch! Brown fails to keep the ball in play and Australia are given a lineout on the five metre line. Replays suggests that was harsh.

Huge try-saving tackle by Mike Brown averts an almost certain
Australian try. Australia knock-on and so it will be England's put-in at the scrum.

Some nerves on display out there... brilliant defence from Brown, but jitters on show all round

by ossian.shine 10/3/2015 7:07:51 PM
Actually, it's Australia's put-in, my mistake. Frenetic first five minutes.

#RugbyWorldCup #ENGvAUS Mike Brown saves 5 points with that tackle. What an opportunity missed for Australia slinging it wide and left

That was close! Australia think they have a try after a cross-field kick, but there was a knock on so we come back for an earlier infringement. Australia opt to go for the three pointer.

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 7:10:19 PM
Bernard Foley makes no mistake, 0-3 Australia.

by jon.boyle 10/3/2015 7:10:51 PM

Where a lot of the damage will be done. England REALLY need to dominate the scrum

by ossian.shine 10/3/2015 7:12:21 PM
Anthony Watson almost cuts through Australia's defences but is hauled down just outside the 22m. England win a scrum inside Australia's 22m after several phases of play.
