Big LOLs from Big Lol.

The big Wasp's been sticking his oar in again ahead of the 6 Nations campaign. Always described as "World cup winner Dallaglio" by the journos, his views carry considerable weight.
But his recent contributions don't necessarily hold water.
Firstly, he claims that Tom Wood would be the obvious choice as the next England leader because back rowers make good captains. Well, he would, wouldn't he ? In the same breath he dismissed Robshaw's claim on the basis that he lacked experience. That word again. Think about all the benefit England derived from Tindall's "experience" this last summer...
On the same tack, he felt that Farrell and Morgan were too inexperienced. How could they be expected to cope with the rampaging Scots up at Murrayfield, he asks. England need results, so Hodgson should be at 10. In terms of flawed thinking, it's right up there with the Titanic's crew's feeling that that "it's just scratched the paint, Skip".
Dallaglio was part of a winning side in 2003 because, quite simply, they had more nous, more muscle and infinitely more game winning experience than any other side. They had the balance of all the elements required to win a rugby match.
But all those elements came together over time. England's mistake over the past few years has been to stick with experience as these stars have faded, which has led to tough selectorial decisions not being made. All this may happen again as the home RWC of 2015 leads to those in power at Twickers prioritising a narrow win at Murrayfield over the development of such talents as Farrell and Morgan.
