Henry: England play a game based on fear

World Cup-winning coach Graham Henry has described England as “the world champions at wasting talent” and as playing “a game based on fear”.

Henry guided New Zealand to victory last October in stark contrast to England who endured a miserable World Cup, crashing out in the quarter-finals with their campaign marred by a number of off-field incidents.

Coach Martin Johnson subsequently resigned to be replaced by Stuart Lancaster on an interim basis.
