[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 769252, member: 72205"] Reaction to RWC 2015: Pretty disastrous went in second favourites due to home advantage and on the back of a pretty decent 6 nations campaign where we played very good rugby, also had beaten the two main rivals in our group in the past 2 years. Retreated into our shell due to one injury and duly paid for it, from a selection POV there were some questions going in but how decisions were being made need to be seriously looked at. What to do in 2019: Semi-Final lets be perfectly honest here that should always be England's goal they may not always achieve it but we have the player-base and money that we should be focusing on this. What we need to do to achieve this: Don't mess around our systems in place too much our success' at the JRWC mean something is probably working at grassroots level plus were finally seeing the kids that would of been inspired by the 2003 win. The key think is sack Lancaster and get in a guy that can make decent selection decisions which has been the bane of Lancasters regime (dropping some combinations with barely a look and persisting with ones that don't work for too long). Ideally we want a guy who'll bring in the young talent coming through when they are ready but not rock to boat entirely. I do think Lancaster made major mistake in jettisoning a fair bit of Johnson's team meaning he virtually had to start from scratch. A decent side is there in English rugby we just need the guy who has the vision to do that. Goals to achieve before RWC 2019: 6 nations championship winners (x2) (a grand slam would be nice), win in the SH, beat all of the rugby championship sides. Most importantly I think we want two wins against all the rugby championship side we need to get SA monkey off our back and prove one NZ win isn't a fluke. RWC 2019 potential: Champions we had it this time but needed luck our way 4 years time won't be any different unless we start conquering all circa 2018. [/QUOTE]
