Healey calls on England to show that old Johnno spirit

In an interview with The Independent, Austin Healey offers his views on Martin Johnson's attempts to return England to its former glories.

"To a man obviously in love with the game of rugby - and speaking about it - Austin Healey's new role analysing the Premiership for ESPN next season should be the dreamiest of dream jobs. But there is one the motor-mouthed Healey rates higher.

"Martin Johnson is hugely passionate about what he does," he says of the England manager, who also happens to be one of his best mates. "He's certainly feeling the pressure of the job, and who wouldn't be? But I've basically said to him 'I don't know what the problem is, it's the best job in the entire world, just think, you could be on the front line in Pakistan'."
