[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 355945, member: 34990"] I agree completely, it's taken a while to get going, but bringing in the young blood really seems to have worked for the best. Would anyone have believed that only 2 of the front 5 would be over 25? With the sub-prop in his early 20s too? Our team was ancient, and now we're rivalling Australia for young-guns I still think there's things to iron out (Johnson still showing his "loyalty" to older players, like including Payne, but demoting Borthwick to Saxons was a big start! I don't expect Payne to be named in the 6N squad now either, with Marler taking his place) - Still need to work on the centres (though Hape is getting better game by game, and Tindall/Banahan are solid if uninspiring) England are a pleasure to watch atm, gone from one of the most boring to one of the most exciting teams in a year, it's mad. Bringing through Foden and Ashton at the end of the Six Nations seemed to be the catalyst, those two showing what a counterattacking/running team can do, and the rest of the team are performing better for it. I'll hold my hands up and say i've regularly called for Johnsons head, but he does seem to be growing into the job now, and I hope he continues getting better. [/QUOTE]
