Paul Sackey, Simon Shaw and Joe Worsley explain how a player-led recovery took England into the final despite the team being written off after a humiliating 36-0 pool defeat by South Africa
Three members of Brian Ashton’s squad from 16 years ago
look back on the key matches in a unique and controversial campaign. Could their revival offer hope for the current beleaguered England team?That was one result, but there was years of preparation before that hadn’t been good. It had been brewing. A catastrophic result like that is shocking and horrible to be part of, but it created an environment for what happened later. Sometimes, people need that threshold for change.], and a lot of that dominance came from the pack.
Despite the fact we got turned over in terms of points, as a forward I was almost stunned in the changing room afterwards. We went forward in the scrums, dominated the ruck, we had a good percentage of possession … lineouts went extraordinarily well. We were all scratching our heads in the forwards.We had some new faces, new combinations. It was really bad, one of the worst games I’ve played in for England.
