		England have not benefited from winning the World Cup and must appoint former South Africa coach Nick Mallett to get back on track, according to the architect of their 2003 triumph.
		Woodward resigned in 2004, claiming he was not getting the right backing from the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to take England forward from their 2003 victory in Australia, and moved into football.
		Mallett, who oversaw a successful period in Springbok rugby between 1997 to 2000, including a world record-equalling run of 17 consecutive Test victories, is the only man capable of turning England back into a winning force, Woodward said.

		The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) have denied that they are targetting Rugby League star Andrew Johns for a conversion to Rugby Union, following weekend reports that the Kangaroo captain was considering joining high-profile converts Wendell Sailor, Lote Tuqiri and Mat Rogers in the 15-man code.
		Johns, currently without a contract, has reportedly told friends that he is relishing a move to Union, but the ARU have shown little interest in the 29-year-old halfback, with many believing he has missed his chance.
		While the ARU did all it could to secure the services of Sailor, Tuqiri and Rogers for the 2003 Rugby World Cup, public affairs manager Strath Gordon said that it was unlikely the same efforts would be made for Johns, who would be 33 years old when the 2007 RWC begins.
