[QUOTE="Peat, post: 804494, member: 42330"] It happens :). Trying to walk a fine line on an argument where I give Eddie plenty of credit for coming in and getting it right while pointing out that he had decent foundations and so far fairly kind circumstances. Wouldn't want to overdo the latter (which can be done when people are big on the former). The consensus on our WC underperformance is that Lancaster's mainly to blame for getting muddled over his approach to winning games in the last year, therefore going back and forth on players and inflicting a disastrous get fit regime over the Summer of 2015 that left our tight five forwards underweight and underpowered. And yeah, would be nice to see that game. NZ remain the ultimate measuring rule. Not sure whether the time gap between now and the next match up helps England or NZ more - England have more time to work on their failings, NZ more time to bed in the new generation. But who knows what happens between now and then? [/QUOTE]
