Best eager to sort out Ireland future

And is there any real point in going back to George Ford as an England starter now, at the age of 31?

It wasn't a Smith decision then, and if you even bother to read this article, you'll see its not a Smith decision now.

It is indeed an anti Finn idea idea. He doesn't want to use those players.

This is about improving the team even further, not doing something for Smith as you suggest.

Gatland might not be worth whatever he's getting paid, but if you're still not getting the same elsewhere for half of that they've got to pay what they need to pay. It's as simple as that. The problem is theres no indication theyre going to lay down some ground work for the next bunch. I thought it ridiculous the comment I heard that Gatland has to deliver a trophy next season, when it shouldn't be able that at all.

They're only going to get out of this by investing in the game, and that means spending money, which is about the only credit they get out of this decision.
