Brian Moore, of the Daily Telegraph, provides his take on what should happen next at the RFU.
"Some people have used the lazy, knee jerk criticism that the media is responsible for England’s downfall, though naturally without demonstrating how it is responsible for any of the reported excesses or poor selections, tactics and performances.
Others have accused former players of stabbing Martin Johnson in the back for daring to make unemotional assessments of his managerial record and concluding that it is not good enough and his contract should not be renewed.
Let me say forcefully, if anyone thinks I relish writing critical articles about the team I played for, without being paid, for eight years and people I played with and respect, they are stupid. They are equally dull if they do not also understand that I will not, however, deny the evidence of my own eyes and abandon logic and reality when it comes to forming an opinion about what I see."
