He's another Henson - great when his forwards are bullying the opposition off the park (whether it's the Ospreys or Wales) but doesn't grab a game by the scruff and drag his team to a win.

Best two players in that Welsh side IMO are Ryan Jones and Shane Williams.

Mike Catt wants to join the Johnson revolution at England.

Oh it'll be a revolution all right, a team run by committee of people who have no experience of running a team. I can't wait, got the popcorn in already and waiting for the fun to begin.

Expect roles to be announced soon for Matt Dawson, Jason Leonard and anyone else from the 2003 RWC winning squad who needs a job.

Will he want to leave his role with QOS though?

That must be all of them then.

agree with you to some extent but he's got time on his side to learn how to do this, thats why i said in a couple of years time. mind you in union you have to have the forward platform no matter how good you are as a half - if you don't have good ball you cant use it

typo etc...etc....

Move along Brian, there's a good chap..........................

I don't understand what the F- is going on with the union crowd. Ashton takes big steps forward with the team and they axe him for someone with no management experience. I could see this happening at a poor club side, but your international side? It's funnier than the struggling French XV.

Isn't not half bad is it? Some great skill,pace on show especially in the 2nd half, they just need to get rid of the mauls/lineouts and have 6 tackles 'then jobs a good un'. Does anybody knowif they have a Salary Cap in this league?

Bad, bad injury for Cipriani yesterday. Dislocated fracture of the ankle, 6 months out. England and Wasps will miss him.

I was watching it at the time, the refs mic picked him up screaming. I've seen it again, and it's a horrible break.
