[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 157440"] I'm not entirely convinced by Ashton myself, but to be fair the guy has only been in the job since the start of this year. Andy Robinson has to shoulder much of the blame for what happened between World Cups. [/b][/quote] If I were the RFU, I wouldn't be so fast to give him that massive reported contract extension. It's not as if he team was always lights out. They really only started performing well come the quarterfinals, so the question really has to be asked: Can those performances be credited to Ashton or to the senior players? I'm more inclined to believe it was the leadership and the determination of the players rather than the doing of Ashton. As I said if it were Ashton, the team would have performed as well in the pool play as they did in the playoffs. What's the rush to extend his contract anyway? I certainly can't hurt to interview candidates. Surely the England job must have a bit more prestige after the WC run? [/QUOTE]
