England need more than returning players, a new manager andtime to improve. The coaches have come up short, the players are uncomfortable with Smith's philosophy on running rugby. The biggest problem is OH Jonny was abysmal last year and is made of poppodoms, Flood out of his depth and Cipriani cruelly exposed and too many weaknesses. During the four years MJ has spentin the commentary box rugby has moved on. How can a team have 62% possession and lose 42-6. Face it the cupboard is bare.

I gave England credit for winning the WC in 03 but you can't bring yourself to give credit where credit is due beyond your own country!

and another thing...we've won 2 gand slam's in the last 3 years.....Engkand....who remembers?

sorry wales but is no longer enough for us to win grand slams and beat average aussie sides in cardiff - have people forgotten we did just that 3 years ago and then look what happened? We lost a great coach and were humiliated at the next WC! If we are to be taken seriously and be respected we must beat SA and NZ its as simple as that. We also have to do something at the WC! People can say what they like bout england but they have done it when it matters. When we have either won a WC or at least reached the final we will then be able to crow a little.

Bambaraloss, the last 2 world cups have no meaning to where you are now. The players are largely different, as are the coaching staff. the pedigree of players available are also different. A lack of room for home grown talent is hindering England. Be realistic. As a Welshman, I know how painful it is to see your national in such a state but thats where you are. The 6 nations will probably only see 2 England wins unless France bottle it in Twickenham again. I wouldn't count your blessings on your two other home games either...
