England blew it by missing out on Shaun Edwards – the man who can lead France to Six Nations glory
England could have made a fatal mistake by failing to pinch defence coach Shaun Edwards
Don’t be surprised if France win the Six Nations — and don’t be surprised if Shaun Edwards is the man who makes it happen.
If France are to become a world force again, new coach Fabian Galthie and Edwards must conjure up the chemistry and close working partnership that Edwards enjoyed with Warren Gatland for 16 years with Wasps and Wales.
The moment Galthie was appointed, he lasered in on Edwards and would not take no for an answer. As an Englishman I am almost speechless in frustration that nobody at Twickenham seemed to have the authority or desire to act more decisively.
