Read somewhere that Joe Ford who was up at at Leeds and various
other Clubs had Mike helping with coaching as well article read
‘father turned up to help’ .. maybe a case of get one get two,
three. .. . Who know!

Lancaster has acknowledged privately that the biggest mistake he
made at RWC2015 was taking too much notice of the people around
him, i.e. Farrell; Catt & Ford, rather than being his own man
and backing his own judgment

I dont think Burgess should have been subbed in the Wales game.
I would have left him on

Indeed.
It wasn't some big Ford & Ford conspiracy, though.

I've listened to it. The bloke isn't lacking in confidence is
he. I don't think he should have been fast tracked in in the
first place but then agree that he shouldn't have been subbed
off against wales.
Lancaster was obsessed with league and the military and I always
got the impression the players couldn't think for themselves.
They'll all deny it obviously as why would you want to admit it.
Think this interview has been a bit overhyped. It's basically
Payne fawning over Burgess, Haskell being his usual self and
Burgess telling us what a good bloke and solid, humble, salt of
the earth northerner he is

CHRIS FOY: Sam Burgess is settling old scores with his snipes at
Mike and George Ford, but his complaints do NOT ring true...

Strange article - praising everyone, including Burgess, and also
calling him a liar.
