BBC Sport - Martin Johnson quits as England team manager

England team manager Martin Johnson has stood down after three and a half years in the role.

His decision follows a miserable World Cup which ended in quarter-final defeat by France and featured a series of on and off-field controversies.

The 41-year-old won 84 caps for England as a player, leading the side to victory in the 2003 World Cup.

Johnson and the Rugby Football Union's director of elite rugby Rob Andrew will hold a press conference at 1600 GMT.

More to follow.

Just listening to 5Live on this. What the feck is Dwarfgate?

 

[Rooney1987]

I think it was Tindall and a few of the older England players went on a night out heavy drinking during the world cup, there was a dwarf involved. It was all over the papers and it all happened under Johnsons watch he didn't punish them.

I don't pay much attention to rugby but Rob Andrew seems like a slimy little shit.
