 Telegraph | Sport | Henry left stunned by England's failings
Henry and Woodward have had their verbal exchanges down the years with the former England coach stunned by the appointment of a New Zealander to lead the Lions four years ago.
Henry, though, was not to be drawn into a tit-for-tat critique of Woodward's approach to the job, which involves dispatching the largest Lions squad (44 players and 32 back-up staff) to contest a series.
Henry is all too aware of the deficiencies of New Zealand rugby in recent years, though given that they rounded off their autumn tour with a 45-6 victory over France, it is a relative failing.

Henry knows, better than most, how hard it is to mould a new squad of players together into a Test-match winning side in a short space of time, and Woodward would have enjoyed picking his predecessor's brain - although one suspects that such a liberty will now be denied to the new 'Lions King'.
