Robinson's reign ends in ignominy
Andy Robinson
Woodward's assistant coach Andy Robinson took the helm under a shower of plaudits for his passion and work ethic.

But the former England flanker struggled and the national side plunged further under his tenure, losing 13 of the 22 games he was in the job.

England finished fourth in successive Six Nations and lost eight of Robinson's last nine matches in charge.

"We are staring over the abyss," said England's new director of elite rugby Rob Andrew.
