Looking Back in Anger ?

Seems odd to me that the folk who cheered Jonno as English rugby's Great Redeemer seem to be frustrated by the team he is moulding. To appoint the gnarly Tiger, then expect a team shaped by him to be a free running force of rugbying bread from heaven is a bit like voting Labour and then complaining that we've got a big sweaty Scot as a PM.

England simply didn't seem to know what to do with the ball against the Irish. It was hatched from the back of the rucks so slowly, and Care needed an age to clear away legs and arms before delivering to Wilko, who sat so deep he might as well have been occupying one of those green seats. In contrast, when the Irish gor delivery of the ball in attack, they knew exactly what they were doing, their three tries born of rapid decision making and confident players.
