Some people are utter morons, Ashton is one
Chris Ashton’s England recall in doubt after seven-week ban for tip tackle
Chris Ashton was banned by the RFU for a tip tackle in a pre-season friendly against Castres and will only be eligible for one Sale game before Eddie Jones names England’s autumn squad

He's been Eddie's assistant though

Mitchell's notorious track record - england
The Bulls and head coach John Mitchell are heading for an unceremonious and bitter divorce, with reports of a move to be England's defence coach a 'done deal' - despite Mitchell's current contract running until the end of 2019.
Bwahahahahaha

Are you referring to 2003 when he assisted the Wallabies into the final of the RWC?

Probably would gladly have paid £200K to get rid.

"the results have been sub-par with the exception of his short stint at the helm of the All Blacks."
Fuck off. Par is 1st, not 3rd.

As much as I hate to say it, par for 2003 WC would really have been second. England results in the run-in to that tournament were very hard to argue against.
However, big difference between 2nd and 3rd. We had the cattle to get over the line in that semi, just not the whole package. I don't think we had the cattle to win it though.

I do agree generally, although I do think we could have beaten England. I gave us a 40% chance.
I felt we had outmuscled them in the forwards in Wellington* but they did enough to win. We were especially effective in thst game (and the two big scoring games in SA and Aus) when we kept it very close to the forwards (pick and gos, one off runners etc). When we tried to go a little wider v Aus in the semi we got picked off and shut down. I was expecting (hoping for) similar forward dominance in the final. Shame there was no final in 03 ...
But it would have been an injustice (one I coukd have lived with) if England had lost that.
*Don't start me on the 6 man scrum thing: that was a penalty try to Rodders all day long.
