France head coach Bernard Laporte believes the spirit fostered in his title-winning squad over the last seven weeks vindicates his decision to convoke a 40-man party for the recent RBS 6 Nations Championship.


Laporte was not able to live up to his pre-tournament vow of giving every member of his squad at least one game in the competition in the hope of seeing as many players as possible in the run-up to the World Cup later this year.

There are still major issues head coach Brian Ashton needs to address over the next six months, particularly in the forwards where the traditional strength of England's game has been at least partially eroded.


But Andrew is convinced England are entering an exciting new era after young players like Nick Easter, David Strettle, Shane Geraghty, Tom Rees and Toby Flood all emerged to make their mark on the international scene.
