With England’s autumn series kicking off on Saturday, Sir Clive Woodward sets the scene for their four crucial matches. Sam Peters asks the questions. Sam Peters: How do you see the QBE series going for England and where are Stuart Lancaster’s team compared to yours at this stage 12 years ago? Sir Clive Woodward: The current group of English players is just as talented as the 2003 squad, but I just don’t think we’ve seen the right XV on the field playing the style of rugby required to win a World Cup. You need to create a team that can outscore any side in the world. Let’s be very clear: to win a World Cup you have to be able to outscore the southern hemisphere sides and not just the Six Nations teams.

@placeholder players won’t need reminding how great an opportunity this is to make the shirt their own, but privately I would still be winding players up.
