Brian Moore, in his column for the Daily Telegraph, puts the knife into the RFU over the recent scandal to hit the organisation.
"The fact that three confidential reports have been leaked is proof that vested interests in the administration are still intent on furthering their own ends, whatever the consequences for English rugby in general.
What is apparent from the reports by the Rugby Players’ Association, the Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby is that there was, at best, a lack of understanding and, at worst, complete confusion over what England were trying to do from the time they met before the Rugby World Cup until their exit against France in the quarter-final, worrying signs that if not addressed will irrevocably alter the nature of professional rugby to the detriment of everyone involved.
The players largely absolve Martin Johnson of blame, saying that he was let down by his coaches who, apart from Graham Rowntree, are widely criticised."
