[QUOTE="errlloyd, post: 200540"] In 2003 after winning the world cup England went on a massive binge and had a hang over that would last 4 long years. Shortly after this world cup I went out to Twickenam and did the full tour, it had been re-decorated. The changing room for the home side was full of psychological writing on the wall and very neatly laid out. On the outer wall of the visitors changing room there were about 30 plaques showing England's greatest victories. There first home game in this ground after the world cup was against the Irish.... Quite frankly, they lost and worse was to come. Thats not the point of the rant though, we all know for 4 years they struggled in the dark, and fairly when it came to it fired Andy Robinson from the job and hired Brian Ashton. Ok so it was a shakey start, a record defeat to the Irish, but he beat the French. He then took a nobody English team to the world cup, got out of his group, beat Australia, beat France and lost in the final. He then took them on a six nations campaign and won games against France, Ireland, Italy and Scotland only losing out to Grand Slam winners Wales. At this point for some inexplicable reason the fore mentioned wall of sharers replaced him.... Maybe an English person can help me out. [/QUOTE]
