[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1006268, member: 73144"] He’s got a very good win percentage. But with the playing, and other, resources he’s had we shouldn’t really expect anything less. He’s done a good job - we’ll usually be competitive, but he hasn’t taken the next step and turned us into anything like the dominant force the ABs have been or even Eng 03 vintage were and I suspect that’s what the RFU were really hoping for. It’s out of our hands but if things go our way on Sat we could land a 3rd 6N ***le in his 5 years. Not bad, but the only GS was 16 which is starting to get a bit sepia tinted and largely achieved with a team he inherited - admittedly he turned them around well from a low base. He also got us to the RWC final following one of the great Eng performances v NZ. But then we didn’t show in the final and he’s admitted he got the selection wrong. He’s taken us through a great winning run albeit with some horrible performances and then the poor sequence of results in 18. So, yes a good record but the graph is very uneven and he’s no alchemist. I like out of the box thinkers but sometimes it feels like he does too much just for the sake of being different. [/QUOTE]
