Brian Moore believes that it is time for Martin Johnson to axe England's coaching staff in the wake of another poor display The Daily Telegraph.
"England's rugby management team will by now have had hours of analysis and discussion about their side's 27-17 defeat to the Wallabies in Perth on Saturday.
"They need not have bothered; anyone could identify the principal problem that undermines anything attempted by Martin Johnson's England team: slowness, torpor, sluggishness, lethargy – whatever word your thesaurus produces, it means the same thing.
"The closeness of the final score papers over large cracks in England's game. Apart from obliterating an Australian front row that would have been outgunned in mini rugby, nearly everything else England did could have been recorded by a portrait artist. How long will Johnson allow this malaise to continue? I could go back through my articles covering England's last five seasons and cut and paste comments about this deficiency."
