A record defeat to the Wallabies at Twickenham sealed the hosts exit in the tournament, with a traditional source of English strength picked apart in the process.Australias scrum had long been viewed as their Achilles heel and 11 months earlier their pack had been overrun at the same venue, but Vunipola recalls only too vividly a humbling shift in power. England suffered defeat at the hands of Australia at the 2015 World Cup They gave us a good hiding in that department during the World Cup and we know that, the Saracens loosehead said. We came out of that game thinking that we had thought too much of ourselves more than anything.We were very confident going into the World Cup as a pack, but the biggest lesson we took was that on any day anything can happen. We go into this weekend knowing that too. Were going into this Test match knowing we face a massive challenge as a front row and as an eight.Vunipola admits the collective pride of Englands front row took a battering at the hands of an Australia team under the expert guidance of their head coach Michael Cheika, but said revenge is not in his mind.This series has nothing to do with revenge, but as front-rowers we have pride and want to move on. We have a clean slate to go out there and put a better foot forward, Vunipola said. Englands rugby union squad have an unusual selection dilemma for the first Test against Australia in Brisbane There is no thought of revenge or righting wrongs of the World Cup and although its hard to forget, it has got to go to the back of our minds.ddddddddddddustralia use their scrum as a weapon now, not just to get ball out to their backline which has been their traditional strength. Now theyre using their forward pack to dominate, whether thats through the scrum or the maul.Theyve become one of the best packs in the world and theyve got some great coaches around them. Cheikas been in Europe and had a lot of experience there. Michael Cheika is looking to mastermind another win over England Hes learnt from that and now he has taken that down to the southern hemisphere, theyve become a dangerous team all over the park.Australias 1991 World Cup-winning coach Bob Dwyer accused Joe Marler of scrummaging illegally in the build-up to the Pool A showdown and Dan Cole believes that had an influence on referee Romain Poite, who oversees Saturdays match in Brisbane.We were angry because we saw things differently to how they were interpreted, Leicester tighthead Cole said. The way things were portrayed in newspapers and stuff and Bob Dwyer coming out - it loaded the contest in the scrum. Chris Robshaw sprints during the England training session at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast, Australia There were decisions made in that game which went against us. Dwyer probably influenced it.But we also have to hold our hands up - we were beaten by the better side. I remember coming in after the game and thinking: that was probably one of the best Test teams Ive ever played against. They were on fire.
