England have started the Six Nations with two wins out of two, on the road. Both matches were played in poor conditions. Both resulted in narrow wins. Fair enough. A good start for the new regime and the the lads in the squad who have little or no international experience. This team will only get better and there are players like Flood and Tuilagi to fit back into the side.
Unfortunately the learning curve becomes a steep parabola from here on in. Wales, France and Ireland in quick succession means that the good start will count for nothing if these three fixtures are lost. The press will then whip up a clamour for a "name" to coach the national side and Lanny will be back where he was - on the sidelines.
What we need is a good performance against the Welsh and, dare I say it, another win. Time is not on Lanny's side.
