The Wrap: Rugby Australia gaslights Rebels staff and why ‘I Can’t Go For That’

Chris Robshaw has urged England to build on the momentum established by their 20-13 victory over Australia at Twickenham by adding to their growing collection of scalps.
The 2015 World Cup group rivals produced a dismal spectacle, but the result was all that mattered to head coach Stuart Lancaster.
England’s autumn program continues against Argentina next Saturday before concluding against a New Zealand team hell-bent on revenge after crashing to a record defeat last November.
Some notable victims feature among England’s sequence of eight wins in nine matches – France, the All Blacks and now the Wallabies – and Robshaw hopes has demanded the run continues.
“We’ve come a long way in 12 months. This was time for us to kick on and start getting scalps like Australia’s,” the captain said.
“A lot of us in this group had never beaten Australia before, myself included. It’s a great memento for us.
“First and foremost this was about getting the win. There was a bit of rustiness there but that performance stands us in good stead for Argentina.
“There was always going to be a bit of rust there and that game was exactly what was needed.
“Many of us had played in big Heineken Cup games recently, but we wanted to step up a gear because that what Test rugby is – it’s about that intensity.”
