ENGLAND INQUEST LEAKS BEGIN

As the RFU Committee goes through its inquest into the squad's dire performance in RWC 2015, inevitably bits and pieces start to leak out, including one bizarre rumour that some players were distracted by having lost money on a share recommendation from the kit man. Why they didn't take professional advice, like anyone else, is a mystery. There is also a story doing the rounds that Stuart Lancaster will be staying with the RFU, but not in his current role (they are probably unwilling to pay him off). Maybe he could train as an in-house IFA to avoid a repeat of the share scandal?
