Martin Johnson

No. Cockerill, Mallinder, Richards, Ryan and Booth would all be better options.
 
You can't fault his passion but neither can you justify putting Haskell on the bench.
 
Think the people above him need a clearout before him - no surprise that the crap selections and sh*t gameplan have stayed the same with the same coaches and Rob Andrew et al. pulling the strings
 
Yeah, the big wigs need a shake-up. I wouldn't mind seeing Johnson at the helm for the 6 nations to see how he reacts. For example, he could start putting in and developing these new guys and we'd be better off for this defeat. Don't forget Wales went out in the pool stages last time, now they look like they could win the damn thing.
 
They should run a competition to choose the next 6N EPS
I'd choose the hell out of that squad
 
and excuse me if I don't take your opinions seriously Olyy...you wanted Stevens in place of 'Weak scrummer' Sheridan not long ago :rolleyes:

I've been waiting for someone to call me on that...
 
I stand by that - on their form at the time Stevens was better
He just went to sh**

Maybe it was a little skewed as Stevens performances at loosehead in the warmups were off of the bench, but he was still solid and Sheridan was coming off of a long lay off of 0 rugby
I think you'll find, when Sheridan performed well, that I was happy to see him there and took back what I said


Ah well, go back to your WUMing...
 
Should go can't choose a squad didnt give sharples game time no flutey, doesnt start haskell and likes the fattests slowests number 8 in the world, y not try crane!!! etc
 
Had the Leicester slump, like Youngs/Flood/Croft (though probably not as bad)

Looked like he was going to be the best 3 in the world, eventually, last year - don't know what's gone wrong but his form's dropped off a lot
 
Manu Tuilagi been arrested in New Zealand. That's a Leicester slump.

No chance, he is the Gavin Henson of Welsh rugby. He could be great but he has not been for years, Is Jonathon Joseph any good as Catt is making out?

It's a load of sh** anyway, just the tabloids kicking off again

He jumped in the sea (Oh no! the horror!) in the harbour and the police gave him a talking to to say it was dangerous in case there were boats and gave him back to the England camp
 
You'd think the tabloids would be happy now that England have failed. They decided a long time ago they wouldn't support this team. I can see the suns headline tomorow; THE SUN SUCCESFULLY FOILS ENGLAND WORLD CUP DREAM

In regards to Tuilagi, he's the only one who has been consistant in every game anyway. He can do whatever the hell he wants in my book.

Well they really resent writing about anything other than football, so have to at least paint it in a bad light
 
He should go. Don't trust him with the youngsters. They seem to go backwards under him. The decision to keep Wilko as our starting fly half in this World Cup should be the final straw.

I want to see our squad inject the youth now and build for the 2015 RWC even if it means some naive performances initally.

Wilko, Moody, Easter, Tindall, Banahan, Cueto, Deacon, Thompson OUT

Players like Farrell, Twelvetrees, Joseph, Trinder, Barritt, Sharples, Wade, Fearns, Crane, Robshaw, Attwood, Launchbury, Kitchener, Marler, Vunipola IN

Will Haskell be playing for England this year despite going to Japan?
 
I don't think he will be


Would love to see a side of:

1. Corbisiero
2. Hartley
3. Cole
4. Lawes
5. Attwood (Palmer will still be in France so unavailable, I think?)
6. Robshaw
7. Seymour
8. Narraway
9. Care
10. Flood (Farrell if he's still being sh**)
11. Sharples
12. Barritt
13. Tuilagi
14. Ashton
15. Foden

16. Webber (not a lot of choice at hooker, but Webber is a decent enough player, I think)
17. Stevens
18. Kitchener
19. Fearns
20. Simpson (or Youngs if he's stopped being poo)
21. Farrell (or Burns, if Flood's being poo)
22. Brown


Players like Marler, Wade, D.Armitage, Croft etc. in the extended squad
