Bad news...

However I think squeeky is only doing that to keep his reputation and OBNSG as scapegoat. ;)

On that basis, Andrew can't lose, can he ? If England continue to fail, it is Robbo's fault. If they succeed, Andrew helped provide the support to turn a failing England around.

I think we all know who's position is stronger !

Exactly so. Baron's scapegoat. And now Andrew's scapegoat also.

i wouldnt say its a lack of players. The coaches have just failed to get anything from them, and selection has been too inconsistent.

Agreed. Admittedly we are only two weeks in, but having watched both the GP and the ML there is no doubt which, at least for the moment, is playing the better rugby. OK, not all players on show are English qualified, but our players are playing in a higher quality league than our opponents..... with a consequent increase in our skill levels. Take Charlie Hodgson. Gone from overrated choker to (IMO) world class in the space of 2 seasons.

I still think we should have had Saint-Andre as coach :wink:
