Wasps lose out to Gloucester

Wasps’ run of six successive wins came to an end, against a determined Gloucester side who made light of a series of injuries and were deserved winners.      The home side dominated the first half and led 10-3 at the break.

Lewis Moody gives his thoughts on England

Rugby World Cup winner Lewis Moody has called on England boss Eddie Jones to revamp his coaching set-up this summer and invest in specialist assistance to solve the Red Rose breakdown woes.   Disappointing defeats in Scotland and France have handed Ireland the Six Nations crown with one match to play – with England’s back row of Courtney Lawes, Chris Robshaw and Nathan Hughes comprehensively outplayed in both games.  Joe Schmidt’s side head to Twickenham seeking only a third Grand Slam in their history but Moody believes England will stop the rot and get their revenge on the Irish – who denied them Jones’ man the Slam a year ago. England have changed their back-row combinations for the visit of the Irish; James Haskell comes in at openside flanker, Sam Simmonds at No.8 and Robshaw packs down at No.6.   And Moody insists England must improve and quickly if they’re to put a glove on a hugely impressive Irish unit who will start as favorites at Twickenham this weekend.
