[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 688192, member: 58918"] He won four from five (the best Johnson ever managed in the Six Nations after three attempts) and drew in South Africa after three months in charge. All this after picking up the pieces of the madness ending Johnson's reign. Overall, he's won twelve from fifteen (compared to nine wins, one drawn, five losses) in the Six Nations and beaten NZ and Aus at Twickenham (losing by one point to SA, whom England haven't played for two years since). He also won the Triple Crown, something no England coach has managed for a decade. --- For me, England are undoubtedly better; and Lancaster is undoubtedly a better coach than Johnson. It's whether he's capable of making England the best in the world again. I think he is, but share the concerns of other over the backs' coaching setup. And 2019 is far too long a contract even if England were dominating. Say England beat SA and Aus this autumn (big if, I know) that would mean his SANZAR record would be better than Johnson's by far, to match the Six Nations. Is Johnson's one win --by one point-- in Australia worth the difference? [/QUOTE]
