England have the ability to make more people happy through a loss than a win.

Referees and coaches involved in the November window have met ahead of the opening round of test matches this weekend, furthering ongoing commitment to open dialogue and alignment.
With a busy window of more than 60 men's and women's matches kicking off on Friday, the regular workshop enables referees and coaches to consider key areas of game-management and coaching approach. November focus areas include foul play, the scrum pre-feed, offside at the tackle and ruck and closing the gap in the lineout.
While the approach for November is one of ‘no change’ to recent international windows, World Rugby re-emphasised its 'zero-tolerance' expectation regarding the officiating of foul play in the interests of player welfare.
Following a review of recent matches, including those outside the window last weekend, match officials were reminded of their obligations in sanctioning illegal no arms tackles, high tackles and charging with the forearm or elbow, as the international federation furthers its commitment to evidence-based head injury prevention. This was also reinforced at a highly-productive match officials/disciplinary workshop.
World Rugby High Performance 15s Match Officials Manager Alain Rolland also outlined the revised Television Match Official (TMO) protocol trial that will operate at tier one hosted tests from this weekend (read the details here).
Match official focus areas as agreed and calibrated in advance of the 2018 Six Nations
- Scrum: The match officials are looking for infringements including pre-engagement, pushing early, crooked feeds, non-hooking and wheeling
- Lineout: The match officials are looking for infringements including closing, stepping or running into the gap before the ball is thrown in
- Space: Match officials are looking for infringements that close space, including from kick-offs and kicks and at the tackle/ruck and maul
- Penalty tries: A penalty try will be awarded if an act of foul play prevents a probable try
- Foul play: Match officials will be vigilant for ball carriers who lead into contact with the elbow or forearm to the neck or head, no arms tackles (Law 9.16), high tackles (Law 9.13), neck rolls and ruck-charging

The USA v Samoa test will be livestreamed on the World Rugby website in all countries, except USA, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and Netherlands (despite the test not being broadcast in NZ).
If you're outside these countries, or know how to un-geoblock, it's possible that the test is also streamed via World Rugby's YouTube channel.

noticed in all the days games the frustrating habits of 9s going to rucks and falling over players exiting rucks. Glad refs are not falling for it. but is getting worse.

Care was desperately falling over the tackler in the ABs game.
Soccer bullshit should be penalised.
