As it turns out he got his chance and did fantastically well against Wales,

I'm delighted that Steve Hansen is picking a very good Wales team. Man for man they are a very strong side and I fully expect that our players will have a very tough test on Saturday.

Martin and I spoke earlier this month about his decision. I made it clear during the Rugby World Cup that I would have liked him to captain England in our defense of the Grand Slam, but I fully support his decision.

I only heard last night that it (a citing) might happen and it was confirmed this morning,

I saw the same tapes that the citing commission would have seen and to me there was plenty of evidence,

Clearly things were not right last Saturday night and it was time to shake things up,
