[QUOTE="Booboobang, post: 1207422, member: 86230"] At the time he took over england, english rugby was very much in still amateur culture in a profesional enviroment, he was key in bringing cutting edge methods to england that I am sure if there were forums then people would have been calling modern nonsense 'Ridiculous, there is a reason we as rugby men must sink 5 pints after a gam' vibe. Things like strength and fitness programms and tracking tech, diet plans, detailed statistical analysis and game review were initally brought in by him... It is covered in in a few docs. Is he out of touch now? Probably he hasnt coached in years and years. Is he annoying? Yes. But at his time in coaching he was probably as good as it got at trying to milk any marginal gain and advantage you could to win. Not now, but years ago I do think he probably would of made a good DOR for the RFU inovation and progress is something he exceled at, most of the shite he posts now is for engagement and shock factor.
