Vickery: England future looks bright
PARIS: England captain Phil Vickery said a bright future looked sure, following the run to the World Cup final, thanks to the emergence of some talented young players.
South Africa beat England 15-6 at the Stade de France on Saturday to claim the trophy for the second time to end the hopes of underdogs England becoming the first reigning champions to successfully defend the title.
The arrival of gifted youngsters such as Dan Hipkiss, Mathew Tait and Toby Flood has heightened the belief that the troubles of the previous four years are over.
A review of the World Cup should be completed next month and skipper Vickery believes that with the right leadership, England can prosper.
揟here are a lot of very talented players in England, |
