England's rugby team suffered a heartbreaking 42-37 defeat to Australia at Twickenham, marking their fourth consecutive loss this year. Despite an early 12-point lead, England failed to maintain their momentum, allowing Australia to capitalize on defensive lapses and ultimately snatch victory in the final moments. Captain Jamie George and player Maro Itoje acknowledged the need for a more aggressive defensive strategy, emphasizing that they must close out games effectively. The team has shown flashes of brilliance but remains plagued by inconsistency, raising concerns about their core game plan under coach Steve Borthwick. Statistics reveal troubling trends, including a 40% win rate and a record high for line breaks conceded in a single match. With a challenging fixture against world champions South Africa next, England faces pressure to turn their fortunes around.
