[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 621051, member: 70721"] Sorry but I don't agree with that clique promoting attitude rats apprentice. The guy was passionate enough about the loss to come on here and voice an opinion, we should take him at face value and discuss his point with him. As it happens, I don't agree with his perception at all but then I'm not nearly as passionate about the subject as he is because he's an Englishman. However, I do feel that Lancaster is making progress and he needs time to get his plans together. Great teams take time to build and under Lancaster, England are amassing a wealth of fine specimens, some of whom are already showing sparkling promise. Short memories are likely to forget that Woodward had a pretty bleak stretch when he came in and look how he transformed the national team over time. Lancaster is doing fine. Give him time. Playing France in Paris is a bloody big ask, being 16-3 down at one point is a very big ask and the frenetic flurry of injuries in the last ten minutes will be managed better the next time it occurs. England will learn more from that game than France. I know there is an undercurrent in England among some fans that the Poms 'own' France in the 6 Nations, and results have been favourable to them over the years in a way that makes the AB fans equally a little jealous and a little dumbfounded. But having said that, no rugby loving English fan should ever feel overly confident about taking on France at their home. The Frogs are world beaters on their day. This time they were more fizzle than Bang but England started sleepily and finished the game looking a tad bewildered. Lancaster must stay in the role at the very least until the end of the next RWC.
