[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 770670, member: 50236"] It has been disputed that Lancaster sought him out. The true story is yet to come out but it will!! Also he had a voice and could have made it clear whether he wanted to play centre or not? He could certainly have made this clear when contract negotiations with Bath - not with England- were taking place! He could also have made it clear to England management what and where he wanted to play? My overall impression is he wanted to play in the RWC desperately and would play where they wanted him but always with an eye on a return to Aus!! Lastly, not sure where the idea that he was heavily criticized for his performances came from. Certainly I have not seen it.....indeed, many pointed out he was taken off against Wales when England were leading!! [/QUOTE]
