LONDON (Reuters) - Bernard Foley was the architect of England's crushing defeat on Saturday but the blueprint for their humiliating World Cup exit had been drawn up by fellow Wallaby Kurtley Beale three years earlier on a cold December day in Cardiff.

The versatile back scored all 14 of Australia's points in a dramatic 2012 victory that condemned Wales to a world ranking of ninth and led directly to the formation of the toughest pool in World Cup history.
