What is worrying is that he is correct about the England Ladies, Saxons, U20's and U18's sides.

What goes so wrong after the above?

Truly deluded, isn't he? This conveyor belt of talent seems to lead straight into a dustbin belonging to Martin Johnson marked "Caution! Youth And Promise Inside! Do Not Open Unless All Possible Old Mates, Journeymen, Mediocre Poaches Or Players Who Were Good 7 Years Ago Are Retired Or Injured!"

Technically we are in a great position for 2015 - if we get rid of MJ, Wells and co. now!

Cast your mind back about two years, and just think how good the following team could have been by now, let alone by 2011.

Sheridan
Hartley
Cole
Kennedy
Lawes
Croft
Rees
Haskell

Care
Cipriani
Simpson-Daniel
Flutey
Tait
Ashton
Foden.

Granted, injuries haven't helped matters. But there are still at least six players in that side that should have ten caps more than they do by now. I'm not saying this is the best side now, but think what it could have been if it had been developed properly from when Johnson took over. I find it so hard to look to 2015 when we should have been tearing the World a new one leading up to 2011.

Rob Andrew has succeeded in his ambition to `avoid the boom and bust` of the last 30 years.

We are now bust ALL of the time.

I do so wish he`d pi@@ off and dig someones garden.

Cipriani isn't even playing well enough to start for Wasps. Haskell has flattered to deceive yet again.

Rob Andrew truly has his head up his @#$%&.

Formerly Super 14.

Rob Andrew is deluded. Either on the subject or that his claims will be believed.

In other words, he is a knave or a fool.

Deluded knave or deluded fool.

Ed that team is a scary what if... bloody hell why didn't we do what Leivremont did?

New players.... hooray!

Um, no one (except me) thought cole was good before about 3 months ago. 2 years ago everyone was still wan.k.ing on about Corbesiero and how great he was.

Cipriani broke his leg and hasn't shown the same form since, so doesn't justify a place in the team let alone pining all our hopes on him rather than Flood or Geraghty.

Good for you SK!

At least you got something right.

Wondered how long it would be before SK88 came along to give us his Chemical Ali routine.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter

SK88 and tigeroo should get together and have a nice, detached, impartial conversation.
