[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 688079, member: 38640"] Well, [B]24 [/B]months...they beat us November 2012 ;). Personally I have never been a huge fan or Lancaster. I would argue it seems England are consistently coming closer to New Zealand since he has taken over, but I also think as a coach he lacks any sort of creativity or consistency. He'll stick with a handful of players regardless of how they perform, and yet he'll make erratic changes on players who have looked promising. I think getting a coach who could run a backline would hugely benefit England. Alex King seems to be who people are shouting for as a backs coach, however they promoted Mike Catt to attacking skills coach after some good work at the Aviva Premiership, and I'm not sure I've really seen the dividends. I think England could have really, really benefited from someone like Vern Cotter or Schmidt - coaches who can run a back-line extremely well. England will always have a strong forward pack, but Lancaster could set up a training drill with brick walls set up on the field, and he'd still instruct his players to crash into them over passing into space.
