What's the rush?

It appears that England caretaker coach Stuart Lancaster will be interviewed for the permanent position of head coach during the Six Nations with a view to an announcement before the end of the tournament.

So says the RFU's new CEO in a blazer, Ian Rich-tea.

So, not only is Lancaster to be distracted by his employers from trying to do his job and prepare his rookie squad for important games against France and Ireland, he (and we) may also know his fate before the last match kicks off - hardly the most motivating scenario if he isn't given the nod.

For the life of me I can't see what the rush is. Interview other candidates now and leave Lancaster until after the 6 Nations ends in just over 2 weeks time.

New CEO. Same old RFU bollocks.
