Probably time to go after the six nations for a fresh start but he's been nowhere near as bad as people make out.
Cotter was a massive refereeing error away from having us in a World Cup Semi - he was laying the foundations of a great team and under Townsend we have gone backwards. It's that simple.
It's a well established fact that the SRU shat the bed with the Cotter - Townsend changeover and we have suffered as a result. The frustration is we probably have as talented a group as we have had in generations and there are some big tactical calls from the coaching staff holding us back - again, probably a contributing factor to the breakdown in relationship with Russell.
No rep, no problem
