The Sunday Herald's Paul Lewis reflects on England's litany of woes.
"A coach like Henry would quickly sort all that out - were he even interested in coaching another national side - but England rugby has more issues yet. Like their inability to put together a team with athletes who can catch and pass.
"England scored 20 tries in their five World Cup games, which sounds good until you realise that 16 of them came against Romania and Georgia. Wales, generally recognised as a better team, scored 29 from their seven games (21 against Namibia and Fiji). The All Blacks scored 40 tries in their seven matches.
"One of the key differences between the hemispheres is the ability to create and finish. Australian and New Zealand rugby players grow up honing ball skills instinctively."
