Has anyone seen Jake White? He wanted the job,but apparently Andrew felt it better to go with a man with ZERO coaching experience over a world cup winner who routinely embarrased them.

Clive Woodward brought the ability to turn rugbymen into a bunch of Linford Christies and Dwayne Chambers. The fact those two were banned for taking performance-enhancing substance is of course completely irrelevant :-/

I meant the end of 2011. Where does the time go?

Judge me on the world cup was what Clive Woodward always use to say to the media when he was criticised. the media ended up judging him on his second world cup result. What Woodward's team had was 6 years of continuity and development leading to a world champions when they were probably past their peak. People like Dallaglio seem determined to prevent that scenario developing again. Andrew had to appoint Johnson as he was the only candidate, due to stature as a player and captain, that can stand up to English media and maintain the respect of his players. In between Woodward and Brian Ashton, who suffered at the hands of Dallaglio, was Andy Robinson. Robinson looked like a lost soul at times when in charge of England, however after moving north he looks like one of the best international managers in the world with victories over Australia, an away win over Ireland and an unlucky loss away to Wales. I thought England were superb last night given the conditions, and only inexperience/nerves prevented them going level in the second half with what would have been a brilliantly worked try down the left wing. Get off the managements back and judge them at the end of 2010!
