    England Head Coach appointed

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugb...sh/6189565.stm

    OMG, what have they gone and done now

    Brian "Sack me for being crap" Ashton is the new coach.

    He plunged Bath into the mire, he was sacked in favour of Gatland for the Irish job.

    Just why the hell do they consider he has the ability to take a failing England team and turn it around?

    The RFU has said that this is not a temporary replacement but a long term one. So, they have to be thinking 5 years into the future for the next RWC cause this one is dead and buried. The bloke will be 65 then.

    Hello, inspiration, drive, imagination anyone?

    Nope, there is only one explanation. Well the other one is that Rob Andrew and the rest of the old farts really think this is the solution but not even they could be that stupid..... on the other hand???

    No, they are using him as the fall guy for the '07 RWC and must be getting Deano after that. They have to be, it's the only logical choice.

    Crimbo party tonight so no worries on the that front

    However, it does seem to be going from bad to worse. I was a supporter of Rob Andrews but my faith is severely shaken.

    Deano, Deano and deano were the only viable options in my mind. There were some others mooted though.

    It is a strange choice, then again i had no faith in the RFU before now so i wasnt expecting a miracle. :
    If England ever perform at a World Cup, make sure you wake me up :p:
