Quote: Charlie Sheen "Overall McNamara has done a decent job and frankly some of criticism and personal insults that h's received has been a disgrace. I'm not a fan of him really, but England are in a far better position on and off the field compared to when he took the job. If he does go, he can leave with his head high.

Well said and i feel the same.
Its a thankless task being the England coach and you are very much on a hiding to nothing.Judged solely on performances against the big 2 and if we Beat the lesser teams easy then we were 'supposed to do that', Struggle a bit and it proves we are garbage.
His record against the big 2 reads 1-7 however that Don't tell the whole story.The first tour in 2010 was written off as getting some of the young lads experience and he has had to oversee a sea change in the old guard to the new.He got us to the 4 nations final in 2011 with an excellent victory over the Kiwis.Last years WC we were 30 seconds away from a WC final and we played good rugby throughout.This tournament we were a hairs breadth away from beating NZ and would have beaten OZ if we were not bent out of it by the VR.I would say he has ben a 7 out of 10 coach for us who just hasn't had the breaks.
Nothing against Mcnamara, just time for a change
