The Sunday Telegraph's Paul Ackford sees worrying signs for England following their defeat at the hands of Wallabies.
"England, particularly clueless and floppy towards the end, were well beaten. They failed to score a try and for long periods of this turbulent, but ultimately one-sided, match they failed to look like scoring one. Were it not for the wonderful Jonny Wilkinson and Lewis Moody, who enjoyed special comeback games, this would have been an unmitigated disaster.
"Once again England’s attack was conspicuously ineffective. In the final play of the match an out-of-sorts Shane Geraghty hacked aimlessly into space. It summed up much of England’s directionless afternoon. Not that Australia were a whole lot better. The Wallabies scored twice, once in each half, but if they had been remotely on form they would have got another couple at least."
