#7 klippies101: Tough statement that. Our entire World Cup campaign was built off the strength of our scrum and lineout - the forwards.

Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium would host pool matches and the bronze medal match while the RFU also plan to use Anfield, Elland Road, the St Mary’s Stadium, St James’ Park and the Ricoh Arena.

#7 klippies101: agree think that our scrum especially (imho that is) went backwards under smal.

Well, can’t say the forwards were ever weak during the Jake White era and I think that Gert Smal was at the heart of this. The backs however was a completely different matter…
