Johnson faces up to England's full poverty

Martin Johnson's expression summed up a wretched display, alarmingly short of any creativity in attack, against an inexperienced Pumas side, writes Chris Hewett in the Independent.

"No one died of shock when England ran out of attacking ideas – or rather, ran on without attacking ideas – against an Argentine side featuring two new flankers plucked out of playschool, a pair of half-backs sharing the grand total of seven caps and a goal-kicking debutant in the centre. The way they are performing these days, the England team would struggle to put a try past Mothercare. But this latest in a long line of misfires was not without its surprises, the most notable of which was the expression of utter despair on the managerial features both during and after the proceedings."
