[QUOTE="Peat, post: 665155, member: 42330"] Maybe. It's not ideal, but as things stand, I don't think Lancaster deserves the sack, but I don't think he deserves another four year contract. Two years gives him plenty of times to prove something; two years gives any new man a reasonable shot at making something happen. I don't think you need the full four years to have a shot at winning the World Cup, obviously it can be helpful, but if the talent is there a coach can make a big impact quickly. The Lions tour is the best period for England to be without a coach if it comes to it anyway. I'm not sure our wingers are so great tbh. Yarde's made an impact, May's been a little nervy about taking his chance, Nowell is FB-pace not winger-pace, Wade has had horrible luck with injuries, Watson's too raw... who else am I forgetting? We've got a lot of raw young lads with potential and flaws; no George North/Savea freaks, no polished Tommy Bowes or Cory Janes. That said, over the last year, our wingers have made a far bigger contribution. They might not be making massive linebreaks or scoring tons of tries, but they're beginning to be good for a few 20m half-breaks that set up attacking positions most games. [/QUOTE]
