Ashtons Errors

    I thought ashton was a decent coach once, but he seems a bit clueless for the last year or so.
    His team selection leaves a lot to be desired. His back row was a mess yesterday unable to compete with a glaring lack of experience. Dallaglio and Moody should have started as they are fearless canny and can also raise themselves for a big game. corry never does well when he is trying to carry his team and is not quick enough around the park to the breakdown to play at flanker.
    gomersall should have started yer man perry was shocking, for a big game like that ashton should know that its best to have experienced players to deal the pressure. Saki was a joke- looked lazy and clueless in defence, surely cueto or cohen could have done a better job where are they at? must be injured or something?

    im sure farrell will get blamed in the press, because hes a big name, but i thought he did alright and looked comfortable. Its impossible to run a back line with a pack that gives you only threee phases once in a game....

    Cohen not in the squad and Cueto was dropped.

    I've said in another thread that Ashton was quoted as saying he "just wanted to get through the tournament" in that case he should have picked the young players that he'll use for the next World Cup to break them so they know what to expect.

    Too many of the players aren't anywhere near international standards, Sackey, Perry, Regan, Shaw, Borthwick the list goes on.
