Brian Ashton has been offered a new contract as England coach. Is he the right man to lead the team into the 2011 World Cup?

Your views on the England coaching set-up

England head coach Brian Ashton and his assistant coaches John Wells and Mike Ford have been re-appointed by the RFU. The 61-year-old former Bath boss took England to a surprise appearance in the World Cup final earlier this year. But he also came in for some stinging criticism from veteran players for the way the team was run in the shambolic early stages of the campaign. Is Brian Ashton the right man to lead England forward? Or should the RFU have gone for a complete shake-up in the way the national team is managed? Let us know your thoughts.
