[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 155223"] This England team has done as much in the world cup as could be realistically be asked of them. Overall England are not as good as they could have been. Lots of people have spoken about all the issues like foreign players, season structure etc but you can't pin the blame on any of these untill the coach isn't clearly accountable. AR really messed up the England side's development after 2003. The influx of forign players may or may not be a problem for the national side, but there is no point talking about radical changes around the way the game is run in England untill the basic setup around the England side is sorted. If Ashton and co appear to be doing the right things, but England aren't going anywhere in the 6N/next Autumn then maybe you can blame the structure. [/QUOTE]
