Nigel's Six Nations Profile
Coach: Clive Woodward

Though he would never admit it, it must frustrate Clive that England have their strongest team ever, but have not won a Triple Crown, let alone a Grand Slam, over the last three years.

However, victories over southern hemisphere opponents are almost becoming commonplace, and Clive would probably admit that his only serious objective is to win the next World Cup.

Just one defeat in a dozen Tests is a good record, and England produce the goods more often than not.

His pack currently has no peer in world rugby, and although he would prefer to win by running in a hatful of tries, Clive does not yet have a world-beating back division.
