       Daly showed consistently in the AI's that he's vulnerable under
       the high ball. International coaches will have observed that and
       will target that aspect in the World Cup. When the pressure is
       on I think Eddie will opt for the stability, experience and
       confidence that Mike brings to the team.

       Until the Australia game I thought Daly was poor in the AIs,
       especially in defence but also in attack.
       Interesting to hear what Mike has to say about Quins during the
       last 2 years. Pleased to see things have changed

       Personally believe MB will be starting in Japan and Eddy is
       trying to give himself options and using the autumn
       internationals to blood some good back up to MB. If MB not
       involved for that I would be very surprised and Eddy would need
       his head examined.

       Daily Mail piece with MB contains the most damning verdict on
       the utter shambles of horror that was the leadership of that
       useless club destroyer Kingston......
       'The last two years have been awful - I wasn't enjoying it at
       all,' he added.
       'My missus will tell you I moaned about it. I don't want to rely
       on going away with England to enjoy my rugby.
       'Now I feel like I'm genuinely getting better as a player,
       genuinely able to express myself in games, in training.
       'Training is so much better in terms of trying stuff, learning
       and then being able to transfer that on to the field.

       That useless club destroyer did a lot of great work at this
       club. Whatever his problems were as the guy in charge, he
       deserves a bit more respect than yet more abuse from some
       internet hard nut.

       Yes, agreed. He gave 17 years to the club and was an excellent
       forwards coach, promoted beyond his ability / comfort zone. The
       blame lies with those that appointed JK to the position rather
       than the man himself.
       David Ellis stated at the last meet the CEO evening that they
       had engaged auditors to go through all the processes of the club
       as things weren't right. If they are having to do that, the man
       at the top should fall on his sword, not necessarily those that
       he has appointed.
       Last season in particular, the rugby was a disaster but that
       doesn't mean that the man in charge of the rugby is the one in
       the wrong

       Surely this is a contradiction though? The man in charge of the
       rugby is definitely ultimately responsible for the quality of
       the rugby.
       I shook Kingston's hand during the lap of honour on his last
       game, and thanked him for his contributions to the club over his
       many loyal years, but he was, unfortunately, responsible for the
       decline last season.

       No, I don't think it is a contradiction. I think he'd still be
       at the club if he had stayed as forwards coach. Being promoted
       to DoR was the wrong move for JK as many said at the time
