England v Australia player ratings

England's World Cup came crashing to a halt as they fell 33-13 to Australia at Twickenham.

The hosts were totally outclassed by a slick-looking Wallabies side and are now eliminated with a game still remaining in the pool stages. Here's how we rated the players on both sides of the ball:

ENGLAND

15. Mike Brown - 6

Put his team under pressure early with poor positional awareness. Never seemed to settle into the match at all.

14. Anthony Watson - 8

Arguably England's best performer on the night. Hardly put a foot wrong in the first 70 minutes and finished his try beautifully.

13. Jonathan Joseph - 7.5

His presence gave England so much more confidence to attack, but suffered a little in defense.

12. Brad Barritt - 6.5

Helped link play well in the first half but was nowhere to be found on either try.

11. Jonny May - 6

Didn't do much wrong in his 40 minutes on the pitch. Didn't get much service as England waited until the second half to throw it around.

10. Owen Farrell - 6.5

Had a solid game but England needed a game-changer at 10, which Farrell just can't offer. A stupid yellow card marked the end of the game.

9. Ben Youngs - 6

Did his best but saw too many turnovers. Failed to organise his forwards properly.

8. Ben Morgan - 6

He carried well in the opening period but went missing soon after.

7. Chris Robshaw - 5.5

He was completely found out against two world-class openside flankers. The refusal to pick Steffon Armitage never made any sense.

6. Tom Wood - 5

Didn't offer Robshaw any help in taking down the Hooper-Pocock axis.

5. Geoff Parling - 6

Made some good lines but England needed far more.

4. Joe Launchbury - 6

A disappointing outing for a player who can offer so much. For all he did, he was caught out in defense too many times.

3. Dan Cole - 4

Anonymous in every aspect of the game.

2. Tom Youngs - 6

One of England's better forwards, but still wasn't able to do enough.

1. Joe Marler - 4.5

Offered nothing in the loose, and has no Plan B if the ref notices his angled driving at the scrum.

Replacements

Ford's introduction at halftime allowed England to spread the ball more, but the lack of any other game-changers on the bench was starkly apparent. Burgess was lucky not to pick up a yellow at the same time as Farrell.

AUSTRALIA

15. Israel Folau - 6

A surprisingly quiet night for one of the most talented players at the tournament.

14. Adam Ashley-Cooper - 8

Still one of the most fun players to watch in world rugby.

13. Tevita Kuridrani - 7

Did all he needed to do.

12. Matt Giteau - 9

Possibly the most gifted footballer in the world. Still a joy to watch after so many years.

11. Rob Horne - N/A

Unfortunately for Horne, his early injury meant he missed the majority of this famous victory.

10. Bernard Foley - 10

A monumental effort. Two tries and a 100% kicking ratio gave him an Australian record against England. Announced himself to the world.

9. Will Genia - 8.5

His importance to this team was clear once he left the pitch.

8. David Pocock - 10

Cheika's decision to move him to number eight is truly inspired and it could win them the World Cup.

7. Michael Hooper - 9

Was lucky not to be yellow carded late in the first half, but had a phenomenal game in every other aspect.

6. Scott Fardy - 7.5

The quiet one of the Australian back row, but always looked comfortable.

5. Rob Simmons - 8

Another great game as the Wallabies pack proved too strong for the hosts.

4. Kane Douglas - 7.5

By no means world-class but he doesn't need to be in this team.

3. Sekope Kepu - 7.5

Threw one of the tastiest offloads you'll ever see and more than held his own against Marler after a slip at the first scrum.

2. Stephen Moore - 7

There was a worry that Australia would miss him when he went off, but they have enough leaders to cope.

1. Scott Sio - 7

The Australian scrum worked perfectly after a few early jitters.

Replacements

Kurtley Beale played a key role in the second try and generally made a great example of himself after replacing Horne early on. All the replacements maintained the high level of Australian play, with the exception of Nick Phipps at scrumhalf.
