[QUOTE="Openside7, post: 896443, member: 77272"] Whilst many good points have been made on a number of issues affecting the performance of the England team, namely, the number of games played each season, the rather insular playing standards of the premiership (breakdown, technical skills and attacks, to name but a few), it is also perhaps worth observing that those countries with the most successful national teams play rugby using the regional team system. This does seem to indicate that it produces a more nationally focussed system, with a more coherent set of standards in terms of international rugby requirements and players who more easily understand each other. Ireland play less, but better quality rugby more often; like New Zealand. Sadly, the current English chaos is not easily fixed and rather speaks to the fact that the English coaching team have fundamentally got it wrong over the last few years. Now, with just one year to go to the RWC, its all a bit to late. We really need to address the system or the national team will continue to fall short. [/QUOTE]
