[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 801034, member: 72322"] I agree that we cannot rest on our laurels and we still have a great distance to go, but there are certainly the blocks there to build a really good team, very competitive team. Lancaster was never going to be the man for the job, especially with Farrell running the show from behind the scenes. Roko and May both have some really good qualities but with injury Roko hasn't had the chance to show what he can do and May was looking pretty sharp for England before his injury. Then there's Wade who has never been given a shot, so I would say we are doing ok for wings. And to counter he Wales thing. They were in the ascendancy for some time building up to their slam with a solid team who has been playing together for ages. England did it off the back of a disastrous World Cup, with a brand new team in charge, and a totally new attitude to playing the game with players out of position or new to test level rugby. A turn around that sharp is a bloody good start. Let's not forget the state Aus were in before Cheika came along, and now they are 2nd in the world. England have the talent, and now we seem to have the coaching team to turn that talent into wins. And for all the neigh Sayers I still think we are in with a chance of taking this series, which I would never have said 2 years ago. At the very least we should be running them pretty close .
