The Wallabies have secured a World Cup quarter-final berth with a tense 33-13 defeat of England, knocking the hosts out in the pool stage.
The victory on Saturday night - their biggest ever at Twickenham - lifts Australia to the top of Pool A, ahead of Wales on points difference, and consigns England to the ignominy of being the first World Cup hosts to fail to reach the knock-out stages.
Bernard Foley stole the spotlight with two tries and seven-from-seven kicking record, enjoying a personal haul of 28 points to silence the 81,010-strong crowd.
The win is Australia's first over England at a World Cup since the 1991 final at Twickenham, and goes some way towards avenging quarter-final losses in 1995 and 2007 - not to mention the 2003 final.
It was Australia's highest score and biggest margin of victory over England at Twickenham, where they won the first of their two World Cups by beating the English in the 1991 final.
Wallabies fan Adam Garmys believes the result is "payback" for the loss back in the 2003 Sydney final, where an extra-time drop goal by English fly-half Jonny Wilkinson secured a 20-17 win for the old enemy.

"It's brilliant the Wallabies winning, awesome, yeah. I think it's payback for all those years ago when (Jonny) Wilkinson did us in in Sydney," he said.
Local chiropractor, Robert Forster, said the result goes some way to easing the pain of a recent 2015 Ashes series loss to England in the UK.

"I thought it was fantastic. After losing the Ashes to the Poms, for them to crash out in their own tournament was just fantastic," he said.
English recruitment consultant, Chris Dubuis, who has lived in Australia for 10 years says his life will be unbearable when he returns to work on Tuesday.
"Mate, I'm going to cop it I reckon. You know, first time out in the group stage, I've got a South African in my team so he copped a lot for the Japan game so I reckon he's going to give it back pretty hard," he said.
Teacher Karen Myles also enjoyed the result, questioning whether England coach Stuart Lancaster's job will now be under threat.
"Bit of a surprise, it'll be interesting to see if their coach survives because he was pretty devastated this morning so, it was a good result," she said.
Wallabies scrum turns tables on England
Much of the pre-match talk centred around the scrum, and whether the Wallabies would turn to mush as they had in the past.
Instead the opposite happened and England fell to pieces, conceding three first-half scrum penalties - and six by fulltime - as respected French referee Romain Poite came down hard on English loosehead prop Joe Marler for boring in at an angle.
Marler was hooked after 50 minutes following a terse exchange with Poite about coming in at an angle after he'd conceded a fourth penalty.
"It's something that we've been working really hard on and really pleased to see some results there tonight," Pocock said.
"We're very proud of the guys, the way the team performed. I thought the forwards did really well and the backs controlled the ball well at times."
With England's set piece failing to fire, the Wallabies' electric backline was given time and opportunity to unleash - and they did.
An early chance was squandered when star fullback Israel Folau butchered an overlap, with winger Rob Horne open outside him.
But Foley ripped the game wide open when he crossed twice in a five-minute period.
For the first, he found a gap between England's Ben Youngs and Joe Launchbury before breaking through the defence of fullback Mike Brown to score.
Five minutes later, the Wallabies targeted the same two defenders with a clever set play - Foley turning the ball inside to Kurtley Beale who split the defence, drew the fullback and found Foley in support for his second.
Beale was forced into the fray early, coming off the bench after 11 minutes on the wing following a shoulder injury to winger Rob Horne.
