It is funny that after the comprehensive sweep of the english team, Rob Andrew pointed at the first five as a place needing some rethinking.
I mean, he could have said the same silly thing about any but only one of the fifteen positions on the field, as only Ojo seems to have performed at a high level.
But given what Gatland considers "gaining some respect" when playing the Springboks, maybe Andrew is targetting a 10-point defeat for next weekend...
And perhaps he does not need Hodgson at 10 to lose.

We will never know what Andrew really thinks because Barnes spoke for him and, I told you on my blog, that their is bad blood between the two of them it would appear. Of course what Barnes did say sounded logical although it is a fact that Barkley prefers the ten shirt. I am a bitty disturbed by this sudden revelation that Hodgson is a defensive liability after he has beeb called, dropped, recalled and dropped so many times it is difficult to believe there is anything about his game the RFU like.
I have always said there have been many great players at the club level who cannot make it internationally while the opposite also exists.
But it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Hodgson was back Saturday.
Well, Hodgson is certainly a third choice for number 10 in England...
What would anyone say of Donald playing as starting 10 for New Zealand? (Carter first, Evans second and only after Evans, Donald)
It's funny to see that England can't ever be satisfied at their first five no matter the skills he shows; JW is blamed of poor attacking skills. Hodgson is blamed of the opposite... It seems that only Cipriani is good enough for them...
Too much emphasis on the number 10 at the poms' country.
