| England V Scotland
I left after 15 mins of the second half as the whole match ground into a frustrating mess.
Mr J Wilkinson needs to teach Flood to kick and be bought onto the bench or coaches team. He is laclustre and not pivotal in anything that England does anymore - just a tattered memory. Martin Johnson is a massive case of far better player than manager. England has a great pool of retired characters full of fighting spirit (Dallaglio to name but one) who would make great managers so why go with someone who cannot even inspire a desent performance from the backs. V frustrating as we have the depth and talent to be sparky, inventive and fresh. | |

Have to agree with you. JW is way past his prime (hopefully his injury will keep him out next week) and much as I admire Johnson as a player, to be made England head coach as your 1st appoitment ever was a huge mistake by the RFU. I only saw the 2nd half, but there was no dynamism, no free-thinking, no nouse whatsoever. Flood and Foden I thought made a difference when they came on, but it still wasn't enough.
Having said all that, we'll probably pull off a scrappy win against the French, thereby giving Johnson and his cronies a stay of execution.
