Once again England failed to play with any real conviction or pace this weekend. I have stated before, that the Premiership is the fastest league in the world (allegedly), but we try and change our style when playing at International level.  Why not play to our natural strengths instead of try and adapt to a style of play which clearly doesn’t suit anybody except the opposition. To my mind the only time we have really done this consistently is in Euro ‘96 - remember the games against Scotland and Holland - fast free flowing football.  We are so far away from that now that it’s simply not funny.  If we are ever to perform at the top level we need to address this.  This above all the talk of selection and formation I believe will make the biggest difference.
