8/9 Rugby

The Wallabies have got some serious issues to address, after conceding a record score against England at Twickenham. Pat McCarry joined Brett McKay for the latest LIVE Nations Championship 8/9 Rugby Post-Mortem.

England were comprehensive and clinical, running in 7 tries to 3 in the 45-22 win to climb back to second on the northern standings after Round 4, while the Wallabies have endured exactly the same issues that plagued them through the twin Bledisloe Cup losses to New Zealand last month.
