Woodward: I can make a difference

Clive Woodward admits he faces a huge challenge in his new appointment as Southampton’s technical director but is confident he can make the transition from rugby union to be a success at St Mary’s.

Woodward will initially work with the Saints academy to improve the fitness of the players as well as the use of technology and science as he looks to transfer the painstaking, demanding methods that underpinned his approach to rugby union and ultimately led to England winning the 2003 World Cup.
