LONDON (Reuters) - England's Rugby World Cup defeat by Wales, and the decision not to attempt the late shot at goal that could have prevented it, remained the topic of choice in workplaces around Britain on Monday, two days after the memorable Twickenham clash.

While Wales were basking in the glory of their remarkable 28-25 comeback win and trying to recover in time for Thursday's match against Fiji, England were doing their best to switch the focus to their next challenge -- the all or nothing Pool A meeting with Australia on Saturday.
