It's now official that the RFU know nothing about rugby

Where to begin with the news that the RFU have appointed a City headhunting firm to look for their new coach?

What the RFU is doing here is admitting publicly that they have no-one at the top of the organisation who has any idea about how to find a man to run the national team.  

I know that many large organisations use headhunting firms, but they are not sports governing bodies, and this is once again another depressing example of how the RFU sees no difference between itself and some multinational in Canary Wharf.  This is what continues to cause so many England fans such despair.

The firm will apparently advise a five-man RFU panel which will include Rob Andrew, leading to the surreal situation of a company that knows nothing about rugby advising a man who has been moved away from a role that has anything to do with the senior national team.

I'm off for a little cry if anyone fancies joining?
