[QUOTE="erwanseb, post: 287819"] You had Robinson, Aashtom then Johnson , and the English team has not improved a bit so two possibilities: Either a coach whose name is finishing by "on" can't coach England, in that case you would have to look for names like Woowdward, Steward, Eward,... or, it has to do with something else than coaching. Maybe the players, the training at youth level, the overexposure to football and epl, the RFU,... But God Save the queen, you have Rob Andrew to figure out what's wrong. Just one thought maybe biased, but English players employed in the top 14 seem regenerated (Thomson, Haskel, Wilko and even Goode), not that France has performed much better than England, but roots of the problem are quite different. My feeling has been expressed by Wilko, rugby is first of all a game that you have to enjoy. None of the english players on the pitch seem to enjoy beeing there, they look like low rank employees goiing to work by subway every morning ****** of by the coming working day. The pleasure is non existent for both players and spectators, except against France this year. Being more relax (without smoking anything) could be a good start. [/QUOTE]
