Lancaster vows to stick with his plan

Wales 30 England 3

Wales stormed to a record 27-point victory to retain the championship crown and inflict more last-day misery on England, who also lost Grand Slam deciders in 1990, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2011. Clive Woodward, who was in charge for three of those campaigns before going on to win the Rugby World Cup in 2003, claimed England’s “bubble has been burst” and urged Lancaster to rethink his approach.

“To me, coaching England is [about] your next game. You are picking a team to win on Saturday. It is not about too much development. He has to take that on board now,” Woodward said.
