[QUOTE="valley commando, post: 778544, member: 72217"] , Alister Darling yes what a tosser, I'd erased him from my memory, I still think you should have a mix and match attitude to the squad in the 1st couple of weeks , I remember a fair few of the players that played in the tests played several mid week games, Halfpenny for instance. As for that tortured soul Henson we were lead to believe (true or not) that Woodward had told him he would get a test spot and then overlooked him without explanation for me Woodward was responsible for screwing up Hensons career, he was never quite the same after that tour, some players need a kick up the arse and others need an arm around the shoulder, Henson being the latter, Woodward did not possess much in the way of man management as he only had one way of dealing with things and for me was lucky when England won the WC as the real leaders and decision makers were on the pitch.
