It as a harrowing night for the World Cup hosts on Saturday night, as a patchwork Welsh team managed a remarkable comeback to take the advantage in the race to qualify for the quarter-finals from the pool of death.
The English media is in post mortem mode, wondering why England captain Chris Robshaw eschewed a kick to level the scores in the final minute. The nation has taken the defeat pretty hard.
So they probably won't find the humour in Brian O'Driscoll's instagram reflecting on the loss:
That's cheeky stuff Brian, well played. England head coach Stuart Lancaster certainly looked a shell of his usual self at the end of the game on Saturday.
