England rugby coach Martin Johnson quits

So farewell, then, Johnno.

You were an outstanding on-pitch leader and an awesome opponent, but it hasn't really happened for you as a manager.

What might have been if your players hadn't been such numb-skulls, though? Never mind all the off-the-pitch stuff at the World Cup, I'd be more frustrated by their inability to run straight and the fact that prop forwards kept appearing at fly-half at crucial moments.

And don't get me started on Chris Ashton and his swallow-dives. They should be banned. Otherwise the day will come when he drops the ball at the key moment and Celts worldwide will wet themselves laughing.

No news yet on what next for Johnson, but I'm sure Leicester Tigers could find a role for him fairly sharpish.
