Do you this Australia go into any game thinking it doesn't matter if they get beat?'"
How do you work that out. England are perennial losers in football and quite a few sports as they have to win every game. You need to pick your games. For me seriously I would play a reserve side v Oz first game take the beating go into the next game with a fully fit side.
Australians as in most sports care about wining the world cup rather than winning every game. England need to win 5 games to win the World Cup and 2 should be gimmies. Its a question of priorities for me get out of the group then win every game. Win 2 group games and then avoid Tonga. England should walk into the semi and hopefully get NZ who are rather weak.
Problem is England's squad is not deep enough to go through that competition and not pick up injuries. England for the good of the game need to make the final.
