Confusion reigns so the players must take over

England legend Jeremy Guscott claims England's rank and file have to deflect flak from Johnson – and has backed Riki Flutey as key to a successful Six Nations. He talks to Hugh Godwin in the Independent on Sunday.

"Martin Johnson's politics are unknown but he shares with David Cameron a penchant for dark suits and shirts without a tie. While Cameron has a few months to sort out his bid for No 10, the Six Nations Championship is less than a week away, and one former team-mate of Johnson's believes the England manager's division of labour is not working. "There's no player there yet who's brave enough and big enough to tell the coaches to eff off," said Jerry Guscott. "I just think there's a lot of confusion within the England squad and the management, unless there's something going on none of us know about and all of a sudden it'll click and explode."
