In the interview with Rob "teflon" Andrew he said he would not be resigning, basically very little to do with him how the England Team play, he has responsibilities to the whole English Rugby setup.

My Plastic Taff side is very pleased with Edwards at Wales my English side wonders why the RFU didn't snap him up... can't decide if emotionally I win or lose with the outcome

am i alone in thinking that, if Dallaglio had not tried to show off to that reporter, then Mr Johnson would never have been the england captain, or coach?

and i am glad he is going, he is not a coach.

Quite possibly, Ton, but I don't think Woodward would have lasted as long and having captained the Lions, it would have been difficult for a new coach to ignore Johnson's claims on the captaincy. In my view one of the main reasons England were successful under Woodward/Johnson was there was a tension between Woodward's wacky ideas and Johnson's pragmatism, which allowed the team to progress. Dallagio was a big Woodward fan and wouldn't have stopped his more stupid ideas whihc Johnson did.

I feel sorry for him, he was put in the position with hardly any experience then gets flamed when things go wrong.

As for Andrews, should have been kicked out ages ago.

Well that's Mallet out. I understand that he won't work for Andrew, and I don't blame him at all.

Edwards has always been quite vocal about the RFU, with his league background he has said that he always felt more affinity to the game in Wales and its working class roots.

I have already written to the RFU to express my disgust that they have accepted Martin Johnsons’ resignation and said in my opinion he should have the position for life.

If they feel they can’t go back on their decision then HRH MT should be strongly considered as a replacement; I accept the rugby might be poor but the parties will be fantastic.
