"I think the key job for a head coach is getting the selection right. Sometimes it's about instinct and not sticking with people out of loyalty. George Ford performed brilliantly throughout last season. He's been brilliant this season and is performing better than Owen Farrell. The only people who didn't see that were Stuart Lancaster and Owen Farrell's father. It's a decision Stuart should have made a lot earlier."

A reminder that there's a rugby forum discussing the action until 1700 GMT - you can access it on the Red Button on TV, or in the live tab at the top of this page.

Australia captain Mike Hooper: "England's scrum was really good tonight. We couldn't get any ascendancy against them today. Their set pieces were also all good. We had a disappointing first half but got better in the second. We scored a good try in the second half but couldn't go on from there. We have to hold onto the ball and not give the opposition easy leg-ups.

"There's a long time before we come back together as a group, so this is a disappointing way to finish. We were really close to finishing lots of our passes today, but we just couldn't finish for the majority of the game and that lead to our downfall."

More from England captain Chris Robshaw: "I do feel a little bit of relief right now. A loss today would have lingered with us a bit more.

"We're now looking forward to the Six Nations. We will be ready for Wales in February - but we we'll enjoy tonight and we're pleased with the way we played today and the way the game finished. We're happier today than we were two weeks ago."

Wales captain Sam Warburton leads his players in a lap of honour. The flanker smiling broadly and waving to the crowd. "They just need to learn to close games out," says Jonathan Davies in the commentary box and, perhaps, this victory will give the men in red the belief they need in the closing stages of big Test matches.

England captain Chris Robshaw: "It's been a tough four weeks but I'm so proud of the guys, who have all stuck together. We've simplified things and our play today was more fluid than it has been.

"We are extremely proud of our pack, and the way we've dealt with lots of teams who have come to Twickenham. Hats off to the front five boys."

Wales captain Sam Warburton speaking to BBC Sport: "I wish people could see how much we've been putting in. We've been getting up at 6am and doing altitude training. You get out what you put in and that's proved the case this afternoon. We've been knocking on the door for so long. This is one of the best achievements I've had in a Welsh jersey."

Wales man of the match Dan Biggar, speaking to BBC Sport: "It means everything. It's been amazing. All the narrow defeats we've had, and this makes it worth it. We always seem to do it the hard way. Yes, we had doubts. We've thrown it away so many times in the past, but we got there today and this could really help us move forward. Great relief."

"The shape of Australia and the intent they've got to play were all things England should have expected prior to kick-off. The Aussies will pose more problems at the World Cup, but today England showed adventure and played to their strengths. A much better balance in their decision making."

"I wish people could see the effort we've put in in the last six weeks. We've been doing all sorts, so desperate were we for this win," says Wales captain Sam Warburton, enjoying his first victory over a southern hemisphere side in the red of Wales.

"There's no question that with the dominance England had up front that the back line were going to enjoy a bit of momentum. But England dictated very well. When Australia played with continuity England looked occasionally vulnerable, but with England able to demolish Australia in the scrum that is often enough on its own to win a match at this level."

"That was thoroughly deserved. Wales were the better side. They could have been more convincing winners. They have to learn to close games out."

"It's everything," says Dan Biggar, when asked what this victory means for his team and his country. The outside-half, voted man of the match, pauses, soaking up the crowd's cheers. "This is a real moment for us moving forward."

Sure, head coach Stuart Lancaster may have been playing things down beforehand, but England simply had to win this.

After two defeats and a solitary win they needed to put Australia away, and so they did.

The power of the pack was the difference - especially at the scrum - and although concerns remain about the fluidity of England's attacking game, they can take a back seat for now.

These two meet back at Twickenham in the World Cup in less than a year's time - and England have scored a psychlogical blow, although most certainly not a knockout one.

Wales beat South Africa for only the second time in their history, and beat a southern hemisphere side for only the second time during Warren Gatland's tenure.

The ball goes forward and Wales have done it! Finally, they have done it!
