just saw that too. Disappointing but not surprising. Hopefully only 2 more poor performances to go!

Preposterous decision, AR should have been fired or resigned.

It will be interesting to see what reaction he gets at Twickenham this weekend.

I notice ticketmaster are reselling tickets for the Boks tests when previously they were sold out - do they hold some back or do we think that recent results have forced people to not go...?

Ridiculous - but not unexpected. The RFU have no guts and no sense, that's been plain to see for some time.

That is unbelievable!

Anybody with honour would have resigned. How a team can be pulled around in two games after the hash he has made of it, I don't know.

Will this make Cozza the scrapegoat?

How much more damage does AR have to do to the national team before the powers that be say enough is enough. What will this do to the confidence of Tigers currently in the England squad, especially with some tough encounters on their return, namely two tough games against Bourgoin in the Heineken Cup? Thanks for nothing and goodbye AR.

The sad thing about all of this is that I can see England beating SA in both tests and then the old farts will be singing the praises of AR and saying he'll be the man to take us into the next world cup.

Call me unpatriotic if you like I don't care. But I hope and pray England lose both games against SA. And maybe, just maybe Rob Andrew may then have some balls to say enough is enough.

Alas

I can see England beating SA and then everything will be hunky dory within the RFU.

If we play like we did against the Pumas then I cant see us beating them..but if we play like we did against NZ then we could just beat them.

I have to say that it just smaks a bit like shutting the door after the horse has bolted doesn't it.

I don't think it's unpatriotic I think it's indicative of the desparation that we all feel about this situation.

If AR does not have enough honour to fall on his sword then he needs to be pushed...and quickly!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I don't want England to lose the next two games just so as we can be rid of him, but.......

I'm tempted to!!
