Clive Woodward Team Quotations

Winning the World Cup was the worst thing that ever happened to the England team.

Our success has not been a continual series of victories. We have had a number of devastating setbacks; how these are handled is the making of a great team... winning does not happen in straight lines.

We set out to be the No. 1 team in the world and the only time you can say that is when you have the World Cup sitting here with you, ... I hope it kicks on to a really golden era for English rugby.

We made the change for the France game but playing Australia it's right to go back to Tindall. He is a key part of our team and has been for a long time.

I've announced a strong team with over 300 caps between them,

This is an outstanding team for the tour and will be a tremendous opportunity for some other players to step up to the mark,

George is clearly in charge of the first team and my role is the whole training ground environment. I've got ambitions in management but that is at least two or three years away. I feel I am more than qualified to help individual players, not just the first team.

All his caps for England have been earned on merit. On behalf of the England team I'd like to wish him every success in the future.
