England coach wields axe in bid to fix chariot

DEFIANT England boss Andy Robinson is confident he can put his ailing world champions back on track despite another season of underachievement in the Six Nations.

RFU chiefs plan to complete a review of England’s Six Nations performances in the coming weeks amid calls for changes to Robinson’s coaching support staff.

Robinson looks likely to continue in the hotseat for England’s 2007 World Cup defence, but there is widespread agreement that his team cannot afford another demoralising display against Ireland on Saturday like the one they produced in Paris last weekend.
