The Wallabies went back to their terrible old ways and were justifiably smashed by England at Twickenham, so writes the Sydney Morning Herald's Greg Growden.
"After such encouraging performances against the All Blacks in Hong Kong and Wales in Cardiff, today's international was the ultimate let down when the Wallabies showed off their many frailties.
Wallaby goalkicker James O'Connor had a dismal night with the boot being successful with only three of his seven kicks which saw Australia missing out on a possible 11 points.
But this is not where the Wallabies lost the game.
Their defence was at times embarrassing, with England successfully strolling through Quade Cooper, time and time again, make great ground through his defensive channel
But Cooper was only one of many Australian culprits, with numerous other players falling off tackles and giving England easy territory.
The Wallabies composure was near non-existent at times and they were involved in numerous idiotic plays."
