It ' s the best country I know anything about . <| sep |> Just making a point . <| sep |> Can ' t blame no one . This is one of the best deals I ' v ever seen . <| sep |> The higher population argument may as well be void as you ' ve always had the number and players , good ones too , but have never really pushed on with it , Woodward ' s ' Dad ' s army ' aside . The talent was always there but England always did their thing of doing it their way and it never amounted to getting over that final peak . Lancaster set the base but was he ever going to get them over the hump ? I don ' t think so . He was never given a chance to learn from his biggest mistakes . I ' m not surprised at all that Eddie Jones has turned them around as England needed an outsider , specifically someone with experience in top tier SH rugby , to push on .
