I hope Wales get through.

England is coached by an Aussie. While his record with the Wallabies was mixed, he had to follow in the very big boots of Rod McQueen who had an 80% win in tests.
Watching Jones coach was like watching Campese play — it was going to be either brilliant or a fail. There seemed to be no in-betweens.
He coached the Wallabies to runners up in 2003 in the World Cup, one Tri-Nations series and three runners up, the Cook Cup and most importantly two Bledisloe Cup wins.

Jones is the master of upsets and yesterday proved that once again with an outstanding victory over the AB's. His victory against the Wallabies not so much as they were never in the hunt. Sadly with the state of administration in rugby union here, they will stay as a second rate team until they go back to concentrating on rugby.

Will England win it? Who knows but the way they're playing and with the master of upsets coaching them, I think they'll be really hard to stop.
