Tense. Gripping. A proper Test match. Australia put England under the most pressure they have faced in a long time with a superb first half performance but the Red Roses pulled away in the second half to seal a quarter-final against Scotland and their 30th win in a row, which equalled their own world record. The scoreline was not a true reflection of what a battle this final Pool A match was with England not taking the lead until the 33rd minute.

It is sad, but it is the right time for me and the club for me to do something else and for other lads to get the opportunity to wear the shirt.
