Six Nations: England under fire and under strength

I bumped into Stuart Lancaster at the London launch of the Six Nations surrounded by many of the same English journalists who have given him a good kick in the crotch over the last few months. The Cumbrian looked ill at ease and just plain ill, like someone fighting for his job rather than a confident coach on top of his brief who was plotting England’s course to the final of the World Cup. Frankly I’ve seen people sleeping on park benches who looked in better spirits than the England boss.
