    So you’ve seen the memes and had yourself a hearty chuckle at England’s misfortunes, now for the cherry on top.

    Now bearing in mind the sporting history between England and Australia, it’s not like the Ozzies would have needed extra fuel to clobber their rivals. That’s aside from the whole ‘prisoner colony’ vibe, a constant thorn in relations between the two countries.

    So what does Danny Cipriani, England World Cup reject say in the days leading up to England’s do or die clash against the folks from Down Under? This from the Telegraph:

    “England’s players know what they can do and they only just touched the tip of the iceberg against Wales,” he said on the Paddy Power blog.

    “They didn’t quite put the nail in the coffin, but if it all clicks together on Saturday, Australia won’t have an answer.

    “Not one Australian would get into that England team right now.

    “The Aussies will be fired up, but when it comes down to it, head-to-head England are too strong.

    “England’s defensive structure combined with the attacking weapons they have at their disposal make it hard to see past an England win”…

    “If England had kicked for the corner against Wales at Twickenham and got a try, Chris Robshaw would be called ‘inspirational’ on all the back pages,” said Cipriani.

    “If England had kicked it over and taken a draw, no doubt people would have criticised them for not going to the corner. Everyone can sit back at home and make a judgement after the event. That’s easy. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    “Robshaw went with his gut, he trusted his instinct and it almost paid off. The decision was challenging, brave and it has to be admired. It was a good decision, despite the three point defeat.”

    So Danny, just to pick apart your argument, you’re saying none of Israel Folau, David Pocock, Michael Hooper or Bernard Foley would make the English team then?

    That, dear boy, is why you can’t be trusted with the number ten duties when it really matters.

    I’m waiting for the meme of Danny with a selection of eggs spread across his face.
