Ashton was a great addition to the coaching staff, very astute rugby brain, I think if he gets hold of the players he wants in the 3/4's and has some time to spend with them, we may see a return to an England team capable of breaking a line! (let's hope)

Ironically, Robinson was a fantastic forwards coach, the RFU made him a manager which he never was!

Think I'd have to agree with you though, give Ashton overall responsibility for the time being. My only concern with that would be wether he'll be able to slip back into an assistants role once somebody else is appointed. What are your thoughts?
