The defensive side and the attacking element, said Gustard.You can pick a team thats going to be defensively very solid, or you can pick a team thats going to attack, and then work on them defensively. We have identified that to win the World Cup, you need to score a lot of points. You need to score tries.Thats the way the games going, the games favouring attack. And if youve got two playmakers on the field at the same time, in George Ford and Owen Farrell, then youre going to strengthen your case and be able to do that.Weve got a litany of talent in the Premiership, English-qualified players that can do some magical things. We need to harness that, give them a framework to attack and a framework to play. And Owen and George have obviously been at the forefront of all those.

Weve got the players and the talent, and if youve got the players and the talent youve got a good chance.We believe in the group that weve got and we think were improving as a team. But we actually think theres still plenty of room for improvement. We think were better than we were, and we think weve got a great chance next year to continue our growth and development towards trying to become the number one team in the world.We can perpetuate the message that to be the worlds best we have to win the World Cup, but its up to the players what they believe and what they want to achieve. And the players, all the players speak about is being number one in the world now.They recognise that weve started the process now, but thats all it is.
