Spiffingly nice mustaches, chaps...

It seems that a Wallaby has bred with a dragon and produced an interesting-looking Australian-Welsh hybrid. 

Defeat for England, of course, would ensure Wales progress to the last eight regardless of the result of their match against Australia on 10 October. 

Up until about 9.30pm seven days ago, England fans were filled with hope. They were ahead in the Group of Death's first killer match, an injury-hit Wales had lost more personnel in the field of battle; the visitors were down, bloodied and bruised. 

But in a breathless second half fortunes changed. A fabulous try. An iffy line-out call and in a chaotic ending Wales delivered a win like no other.

It was a devastating defeat for England which leaves the hosts with two options: to come back from a calamitous defeat or to leave their own party.

Hello! Welcome to live coverage of England's free-for-all against Australia. It's a must-win match for England, this is do-or-die stuff. 

Defeat and Stuart Lancaster's men become the first Rugby World Cup hosts to fail to reach the knockout stages.

It's the biggest pool match in World Cup history since, well, last Saturday actually.

Ladies and gentlemen, these are Stuart Lancaster's tub-thumping words for this evening's grand occasion:

The world has been invited to your party, millions have been spent ensuring it'll be a shindig no-one will ever forget. What a celebration it will be - an exclusively rare bash to unite and inspire. There's even talk of legacy. 

And the whole thing starts with a bang - Mardi Gras and a gladiatorial brawl all rolled into one. But nothing in life ever goes to plan. A notice of eviction is unexpectedly served up. Those near neighbours causing a right to-do. Yet there is one certainty, the party will continue with or without you. 

Do you sit back and let fate play its hand or turn up the volume and refuse to yield? Death or glory? Do-or-die?
