Many England Fans Didn't Exactly Endear Themselves To The Rugby World Last Night

I think we'd be safe in assuming that real England rugby fans showed a bit more respect but as the clock ticked down on their defeat to Australia, the behaviour of some of their supporters was downright embarrassing.

First they starting booing Bernard Foley, then they booed the decision to give Farrell a yellow card - when in truth Burgess could have been sent to the bin as well - and then they just kept booing in general.

Even well after the match, while Stuart Lancaster was giving his interview, the boos were still ringing out.

'I want the country to stay behind the lads,' said Lancaster amid a chorus of jeers.

And those were the fans who has actually stayed until the final whistle. They were leaving in their droves well before that and it's safe to assume it wasn't because any of them were rushing home to do the milking.

Needless to say, it prompted a disgusted reaction from many watching, including many England fans with basic manners.

I almost felt sorry for England but the feeling passed very quickly when I remembered all the whistling and booing from their supporters.

Disappointed to see fans leaving early in #EngvAus - that's when the guys needed your support most. No matter how it ends, support them.

That ad where Chris Robshaw goes "We always back ourselves at home" is going to sting, especially with the fans leaving early. #ENGvAUS

So disappointing to be losing this game but the "fans" leaving early are appalling #ENGvAUS
