England are up and running at Twickenham in the Nations Championship after making light work of the Wallabies.
Fi Thomas, Charles Richardson and Dan Schofield reflect on their comfortable win and why the performance was so important for Steve Borthwick after a turbulent week for the England coach, who was questioned in the media leading up to the weekend's game.
Has this performance now categorically shown us that the squad is behind the coach leading into a World Cup year?
As for Australia, they looked miles short of their best, did England make them look poor or was it just an off day for Les Kiss' side?
And is Henry Pollock a realistic option on the wing with Feyi-Waboso forced off injured and a doubt for the next few games.
Elsewhere, we recap another defeat for Scotland against the All Blacks, an encouraging win for Ireland against an undercooked Argentina side, and we look ahead to a mouth watering clash between France and South Africa this weekend!
