Time to call on Ashton

Former England captain Phil Vickery, in his column for the Daily Mail, calls on Brian Ashton to take control of the England team for the 2012 Six Nations.

"In many ways Brian Ashton would be the perfect caretaker manager for the next few months and for the Six Nations. The first thing this England team need is to learn to think for themselves - and I couldn’t think of anyone better at encouraging that.

He is the type of coach who looks after players, helps them get some confidence and playing rugby again. His outlook will be refreshing for the guys."
