Stephen Jones has some harsh words for England manager Martin Johnson following their latest capitulation. Writing in the Sunday Times, he details six areas of immediate concern for the England management.
"His [Martin Johnson] life is about to get even harder. England supporters had every right to expect their team, granted enormous time together and with no expense spared, to win at least three of their four autumn Test matches yet in all three of the encounters with the giants of the TriNations they have been wiped out.
"It is intolerable that anyone should pretend this current England team is the prototype for a happy future. This group of management and players must end now, and Johnson faces some brutal decisions if England are to make any show at all in the Six Nations after Christmas. England managements have ben pleading for patience for nearly six years without respite. They have no right to ask for more."
