Carling wrong about Woodward

WILL CARLING took a huge bite of humble pie yesterday when he admitted he was wrong to have called for the head of England coach Clive Woodward.

England's former Grand Slam captain had been Woodward's most vociferous critic, claiming the coach had taken the team as far as he could after the World Cup quarter-final defeat against South Africa four years ago.

But now Carling has tipped them to return with the William Webb Ellis Trophy and insisted there would be no-one more delighted than himself to see Woodward do so.
