Despite their dramatic defeat by Wales, on their day England can still beat Australia - they just have to make sure that day is next Saturday.
It seems clear that most of England's players are struggling to find their best form under the intense pressure of a home Rugby World Cup.
I hoped every England player would be inspired to play their best rugby and rise to the occasion like a lot of the Team GB athletes did during the 2012 Olympics.
They should be flourishing under this support and buoyed by the feel-good factor, but instead they seem to be burdened by it.
The hosts squandered a 10-point lead as Wales won 28-25 at Twickenham, and defeat on 3 October could all but end their hopes of qualifying from Pool A.
