The rugby writer New Zealanders love to hate says All Blacks coach Graham Henry is the answer to England's World Cup woes.
Stephen Jones, in his Sunday Times column, says Henry should be appointed England coach for the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand if the defending champions
are to regain the mantle they appear to have conceded so easily in France.
Under a Jones regime, Henry would be head coach with Brian Ashton looking after attack and Wasps man Shaun Edwards working on defence.
Henry was appointed All Blacks coach in 2004 after a stint with Wales.
His contract with the New Zealand Rugby Union ends after this World Cup, but he has yet to say what his plans are after that.
Jones says Martin Johnson, captain of the triumphant 2003 side, should take over as manager.
And England's road to redemption would start by Sir Clive Woodward chairing a new professional game board to control all professional rugby in England.
The column follows England's humiliating 36-0 defeat to South Africa in a pool A match in St Denis on Saturday.
Jones wrote: "Walking out of the ground, it hit me that this long, horrible England grind towards some kind of decent standard has ended in dishonour. But there was no anger, in me or in the silent white thousands, just sadness.
"England were not even good enough to be angry about.
"England carried themselves like dullards, the spark of life and invention never existed in their play or demeanour.
"It was, in its context, the worst England performance I have ever seen, and over 25 years that takes in some screaming nightmares, I can tell you."
