"It was unacceptable of England to play that way and I’ve been in that situation before. There was no creativity and too many mistakes. It’s individual responsibility with the handling errors and that’s down to the players, not the coach.
"Everyone is calling for Jonny Wilkinson’s head now and I don’t think that’s entirely fair. Brian Ashton certainly needs to do something but I don’t think you can blame one person for that performance. Okay, so Jonny’s not playing well but who else in that team is putting their hands up? When everyone else on the pitch is hiding, that’s when Wilko gets singled out.
"If you want to play Danny Cipriani, then why not put him in at 10 and Wilko 12? And personally I’d have put Delon Armitage at full back but he’s not fit at the moment so perhaps Mike Brown or Nick Abendanon.
"For the Ireland game, Brian has to go in with the same mentality as he did for France in the last 6 Nations when he made eleven changes, put me in at captain and changed the whole style of how we played. That is the only way to go now. If he sticks with the same people now then I don’t know how much he’s going to get out of this tournament. Obviously what he did with Cipriani made it even worse when we lost.
