Australia coach Michael Cheika says it is too early to decide whether he will resign following his side’s defeat by England in the World Cup quarter-final.

England comprehensively beat the Wallabies 40-16 in Oita on Saturday.

Cheika, who took over as Australia coach in 2014 and led them to the final in 2015, said last year he would walk away when his contract ends this year if his side did not win the World Cup.

When asked in his post-match interview if he was planning to quit, he said journalists should “think about people’s feelings for a minute”.

“I came here with one thought in my mind about winning here and that thought has just disappeared now,” he added.

Two tries in the first half from Jonny May and further scores for Kyle Sinckler and Anthony Watson in the second took England to their first semi-final for 12 years.

Marika Koroibete had put the Wallabies within a point shortly after half-time and they also had an opportunity close to the England try-line shortly after Sinckler’s try but the prop turned the ball over.

“I feel very disappointed,” Cheika said. “I imagine all Australians will be.

“We were just not clinical enough to finish off opportunities and they defended very well.
