England may well regret the decision not to kick for goal and get a draw against Wales. A draw isn't the greatest of results in the world but it's a heck of a lot better than losing and seeing the Welsh side earn four points for a win. England now have to face the fact that Wales should beat Fiji on Thursday and if managing a bonus point will be eight points clear of England. If that happens and it most likely will, then nothing less than a win will do against Australia. It's certainly not a situation that the hosts want to find themselves in at this stage of the tournament. England can take some heart from the fact they have won their last two internationals against Australia, both at Twickenham, the venue for Saturday's game. Last year they beat Australia 26-17 but their rivals have shown a great deal of improvement since then. So far this year they have won the Rugby Championship beating both New Zealand and South Africa. So far in this tournament they have had comfortable wins over Fiji and Uruguay, That bonus point they missed out on against Fiji might come back to haunt them but I see them winning against England on Saturday in a tight game.
