Moving backwards or standing still since when?
Of course we moved backwards since 2007 (if 2007 ever actually happened) with a poor performance in 2008. But then again, the Aussies must have moved backwards too seeing as they failed to win.
How can we have moved backwards, forwards or anything since then?




Failures?
In two major tournaments under Smith, we've been great in one and poor in one. You deem that making the coach a failure?

I think that to develop the international game it would make sence for Tony to be able to invite all british eligible players for train-on squad, but this only affects the country they play for if they swap to play for england.

So value for players, mixing youth with the top players of the moment, but they can still go back to play for Ireland/Scotland.

So we agree then



By their standards, absolutely. Do you think most Aussies view their world cup a succcess?



Since 2008, although we have played no tournaments and indeed beaten the French since //www.northamptonrl.co.uk:193.jpg
