I have spent today reading about the problems in the RFU and whether Martin Johnson is up to the job, and what a terrible performance England produced in their defeat by the French.
Did anyone ever think England were good enough to win the cup? The overwhelming favourites were always New Zealand, and the betting money was also following Australia and South Africa. I haven't put a bet on Wales but they might now just be worth a fiver providing the odds were good.
...but back to England... It is only a game; nobody died; with 20 teams in the competition there would always be 19 losers. Why is our British press so excited? The shame has come from some silly off field antics but on field we should always have been prepared to meet a better opposing team.
My analysis - for what its worth is that the team should have found a proper number 7 (McCall and Pocock do it nicely for example) - and then find a more definite pattern of play at half back and inside centre. A couple more players who run round people not through them would also have helped.
My overall impression is of a team that is over coached and without a single player prepared to break the mould and think outside the box. I enjoyed my time playing - some of our England team look as if it's a full time job.
