Woodward: RFU are a 'laughing stock'

Clive Woodward has claimed the RFU has reduced England to a “laughing stock” and is doomed to make the same mistakes again as they seek to replace Martin Johnson.

Woodward, the coach of England’s World Cup-winning team in 2003, has launched a withering attack on the game’s administrators and the process used to appoint Johnson, something he now expects to be repeated.
