CLIVE WOODWARD last night claimed England have gone backwards since their World Cup triumph in Australia barely eight months ago.

The former England head coach, passionate to the end in his farewell Twickenham press conference, meticulously outlined what he feels are clear and damaging reasons for England’s slump.

Lions supremo Woodward will now prepare for a season devoted totally to next summer’s tour of New Zealand.
