Best: Hansen could become scapegoat

Former England and Lions coach Dick Best believes that Steve Hansen could become a scapegoat for the ills of Welsh rugby if Wales are heavily beaten by England in Cardiff this weekend.

Wales crashed to defeat against Italy on the opening weekend of the RBS Six Nations, leading to calls from some quarters for a change of the Dragons' management, calls that are likely to multiply in the wake of a heavy Millennium Stadium defeat on Saturday.
