Personally, I'd let the likes of Tuilagi and these 'wonder' boys from the SH go and wave a fat check in front of Pat Howard.

I'd be more inclined to keep "Tuilagi and these 'wonder' boys from the SH" - and then wave a fat cheque in front of Pat Howard! It may be delayed by a season (and a DoR!) but I'm still hoping to see Messrs Toomua, Tuilagi, JPP, Betham and Veainu strutting their SH Stuff in tandem at Welford Road!

Now look here, Roly (welcome back by the way, missed you!) when dribbling, drubbing and new DoR's all fail - you'll be glad to have my delusional to fall back on!

Ian Robertson has said on Radio 5 Live that he believes SL would be a good choice with AM as his number 2. Not sure about that though.

Lancaster did a great job of unifying a disheartened and disjointed England side, and got them playing for the right reasons, but he's not a coach to compete with the best as proven. I'd like to see someone like Todd Blackadder who again did a similar re-build at Bath, and has their team playing good rugby once again with more to come.

Not sure I'd be confident Lancaster could be the right choice either.

Didn't Lancaster also lose the players I mean Quins players didn't want him and that is saying something.

If Cockers was on £500k (I'd love to know where people get these numbers from) then it's not a bad thing that he has gone. I doubt very much that number is true.

Well, with all the other suggestions: Richie McCaw, forwards coach, Jonny Wilkinson kicking coach and Warren Gatland, post Lions tour, as DoR.

If Tigers had won the AP and/or the EC it may well have been and deservedly so.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game

I read £340k somewhere - isn't it in the accounts?

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.
