Comments on: England’s embarrassment peaks with review into kit man http://www.therugbyblog.com/englands-embarrassment-peaks-with-review-into-kit-man Rugby Union opinion and discussion, for the fans, by the fans. Sat, 30 Jul 2016 12:25:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: teeceehttp://www.therugbyblog.com/englands-embarrassment-peaks-with-review-into-kit-man#comment-383377 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 20:42:14 +0000 http://www.therugbyblog.com/?p=40389#comment-383377 I’m seriously thinking about becoming Irish if they’ll have me!
So is this the real reason Sam has gone back down under? It’s a total farce.

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s revelations. I’d give the players involved a trip to Coventry for the 6N. Let’s find players who genuinely are focussed on playing rugby for England and who can give us back a little bit of pride and hope for the future.

Surely the review board has to act with decisiveness over a situation that is removing any and all credibility from the England set up?

SL and crew out, certain players out for now if not for the long term and a top class coaching team installed no matter what it costs. Then.leave them alone to get on with the job.

Stadium announcer. Bloke who mows the grass. Nigerian princess who’s husband dies in a car crash leaving £30,000,000 that needs your help to get it out of the country.

It doesn’t really f***ing matter who the tip was from if the result is a massively pissed off team who have lost stupid amounts of cash just before the World Cup, does it?

So much for the culture being the one thing SL was on top of and in touch with eh?

We could probably all paper a reasonably sized room with the unsolicited tips we’ve received over the years be they for shares, race horses, football, cricket, rugby results and even the weather. Had the tipster been a member of the coaching team or management there might have been a case to answer – but the kit man? get real guys.

Well i have responded to both and soon the money should come rolling in.

Seriously on what basis would you take investment advice from your kit man, players deserved to lose their money. Its like dropping 50k on a three legged pony because some bloke down the pub told you he was quick

Ledesma would be great. Do wonder whether it is the emergence of Sio more than anything else that has made him look good though? As soon as he was gone it went back to the old Aus scrum with Slipper having a nightmare.

Even I had to admit I got that one wrong by Oct 3rd 2015.

Then I thought getting dumped out of Pool A was a disaster for England.

But no sooner had the ABs flown home than we heard that ‘Super Saviour Sam’ is doing runner but towards the Aussies and not their Union try line.

Now there are allegations of some sort of financial corruption involving a member of the England Rugby’s support staff.

How much more do you think we can take on this side of the Severn?

We were already P+ssing ourselves laughing after the loss to us in Sept and now we are going to die laughing well ahead of Christmas at this rate.

The RWC 2015 England Story……..the ‘gift’ that keeps giving.

PLEASE PLEASE keep Super Stu et al at all costs!!!

Probably more straight fwd to buy him of a club contract rather than cause friction with ARU. However in wouldn’t be against poaching Ledesma for scrum coach!

Whilst I am convinced SL needs to go; I’m still unsure on who we are going to bring in. Eddie Jones would be my first choice personally. I’d also like to see Rob Baxter involved in some way; possibly as forwards coach?

Whilst I don’t think we have a chance if getting him, it does at least reassure me that Lancaster and Co are on the way out. According to same story Stu has indicated he wants to leave. Hallelujah.

So much for the professional and focussed camp SL promised, but what on earth were the players thinking of?
