1. RFU must scrape the eligibility rules, England's coach must be able to pick all players regardless of where they play.

I don't think this is going to happen and personally, I don't believe it should. The whole new Enhanced Player Squad (EPS) contracts can only be awarded to EQPs signed to Premiership teams (not sure about Championship sides). The Prem clubs are not going to be agreeable to any changes that see their best players heading off to France/Japan etc. Personally, I believe the Prem should be ring-fenced further with even tighter restrictions on the number of foreign players clubs can have on their books. If the RFU are serious about development pathways, then the Prem and Championship should be establish as the best nurseries for developing emerging EQP.

2. SB and coaching team must improve their coaching, selection and impact/substitutions.

Completely agree. Really disappointed that we're unlikely to see more of the England A/U20 cohort against Japan this week. Seems a perfect opportunity to get some of them on off the bench for 20-mins or so. The disparity between the starting 15 and the bench has been one of the biggest issues this Autumn.

3. England need to change their captain, young props to be given game time, inside centre to be introduced along with a younger fast fullback.

Another hot topic atm., though I'm not sure who you'd replace him with. Someone, somewhere mentioned making George Ford captain, but that creates a whole other set of issues regarding you-know-who. Agree about looking at some alternative 12/13 options. Can't see Borthwick drifting too far from Furbank at FB with Steward covering for high-kicking opposition.

He didn't say that. He said that he still thought Ireland were the best team in the world, and he is entitled to say that.

After the NZ series Foster said the TMO handed the series to Ireland. He said the same after the RWC final. NZ always blame others for their losses.
