He's a forward.
Show me one British forward who has moved into coaching and is renowned for an attractive, expansive style of play.

As I understand it his principal role will be management, not coaching, so his playing position is irrelevant surely?

Well, if that's the case, why did Ashton get shafted out of his job as [i "Head Coach"[/i then? |

Ashton was Head Coach.
The stucture has now been changed with the introduction of Johnson and Rob Andrew

If what I saw of this mornings tri-series game is anything to go by Rugby Union as it was, no longer exists.
The war is almost over.

Oh that changes everything - if Rob Andrew is coaching a team in his own image, then England will be bristling with flair and expansive back play. |

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

I take it that it was played in a manner more suited to RL ? |

From what I saw of it, it was very quick with the ball in play approaching League levels. The scrums were less intense and the line outs were few and far between. Nearly all the penalties were run from the mark rather than hoofed upfield for the line out.
It looks like there's been some serious dabbling with the laws and the result looks like a kick in the nuts to the die hard Union traditionalists.
At least that was the impression I got.

It's similar to League in the approach to rule making. The Aussies identify areas of the game where they're not dominant then try to get them taken out of the equation. 
Most of the offences at the ruck and maul under the ELVs are free kicks now rather than penalties, which is why so many would have been run rather than kicked. |

It is impossible to play RU properly " in a manner more suited to RL".
Read Brian Moore's article in this morning's Telegraph and he proves that the myth about kicks to touch and length of time of ball in play etc.being worse in the 6 nations than in the SH is just that, a myth.
Similarly he proves that with the ELVs the game is no different a spectacle to what it was without them. |
