Tears and trouble: Shaun Wane on Englandās narrow defeat to Australia
The coach says England will not win the Ashes until Super League players become used to āreally intense gamesā By No Helmets Required Shaun Wane is a bear of a man who has built a hugely successful rugby career on intimidation and rabble-rousing, terrifying his own players as much as opponents and reporters. But being an emotional man works both ways. It would not have been a surprise if Englandās 14-4 defeat to Australia had left the coach in tears on Saturday but, in fact, he became emotional when I asked him about his grandchildren. After the final whistle Wane spent some time cuddling his small grandkids by the England dugout, showering them with attention and affection. It was lovely and touching. Their smiles and laughter were clearly infectious. A few minutes later, Wane was telling the press how ādevastatedā he was by the defeat and how 10 loose minutes from his players after half-time had infuriated him. āThat really, really hurts ā Iām so disappointed,ā he said.
