World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward says Englands current squad are nowhere near fit enough to compete with the southern hemisphere giants. England opened their Six Nations campaign with a 15-9 victory over Scotland and take on Italy in Rome on Sunday.The Murrayfield match was new coach Eddie Jones first in charge, and the Australian, and his defence coach Paul Gustard, have admitted they think Englands players must improve their fitness. Writing in his column in the Daily Mail, Woodward, who guided England to World Cup glory against Jones Wallabies in 2003, wrote: I did not know whether to laugh or cry when England coach Eddie Jones and his defence man Paul Gustard both insisted this week that England werent fit enough. Billy Vunipola on the charge at Murrayfield This was nothing new to me. My 2003 team were coached and selected on the basis of being the fastest and fittest team in world rugby, which we became.In recent years there has been a total misunderstanding of what is physically required to be the No 1 team in the world. This is a power sport but at the highest level that isnt enough. If a team dont have the ability to relentlessly attack and play at speed for 80 minutes youre a sitting duck and youll be blown away by those who can. England coach Sir Clive Woodward lifts the World Cup in 2003 He added: Looking man for man between my England team in 2003 and the England team at last years World Cup, I would still rate my team as being fitter and better equipped physically to beat the speed of the southern hemisphere teams, which is a staggering statement to make.How can that be, given all the advances in sports science we read about? And who has been responsible for that decline?England havent just been standing still, theyve been going backwards for the last 13 years.

CHASKA, Minn. -- When Davis Love III and the U.S. Ryder Cup team come to Hazeltine at the end of the month, they will be looking to avoid an unprecedented fourth straight defeat to the Europeans.The U.S. has spent two years planning and strategizing in hopes of turning the tide, and Loves first three captains picks lean heavily on experience as they try to end the skid.Love chose Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Matt Kuchar on Monday. He has one more pick to make, too.The Americans havent won since Valhalla in 2008, and they have only one rookie on the current roster while the Europeans will be bringing six newcomers to Minnesota.Experience is good. We know what to expect. We know how to handle it, how to deal with it, Love said. Weve been there. Were going to learn from our mistakes in the past and build on it.Love didnt surprise many people with his first three picks. Where he goes for the fourth and final spot may be a little more intriguing.Love said there was strong debate and discussion with vice captains Tiger Woods, Tom Lehman, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk late into the afternoon on Sunday before a consensus was finally reached, and those conversations will only increase before he chooses the final member of the team on Sept. 25 after the Tour Championship. The Ryder Cup begins Sept. 30.Holmes finished 10th in the Ryder Cup standings and called Love last week to tell him how important it was for him to be on the team. Holmes finished tied for fourth at the BMW Championship on Sunday and is one of the few active Americans to have never lost in the event. He went 2-0-1 at Valhalla.Some of my greatest memories in golf were at the Ryder Cup at Valhalla, Holmes said. So just really excited to get back in the Ryder Cup format and get out there and play.Fowler started the year with a victory in Abu Dhabi and was rolling at the Phoenix Open before losing a two-shot lead with two holes to play. He also lost the 54-hole lead at Wells Fargo and at Barclays, which prevented him from qualifying for the team on points. Fowler was part of the Ryder Cup Task Force aimed at turning around the Americans fortunes in the event, but he is 0-3-5 in two previous Ryder Cups, both on European soil.Kuchar was thought of as a favorite for one of the picks given hiis ability to play with any partner in a team event where chemistry is crucial.ddddddddddddHe has just one victory in the last two years at the Fiji International, but made a big impression by winning bronze at the Rio Olympics. He is 4-5-2 in his Ryder Cup career and has played on three previous American teams.It stinks for me to be sitting on the outside needing a pick, Kuchar said. I thought I had a nice year, but not nice enough to qualify on points. Team USA is certainly very strong. To have the picks weve had is fantastic.The three captains choices join Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson, who qualified in the final standings for the Americans.Left off the initial round of captains picks was Bubba Watson, currently ranked No. 7 in the world. He won at Riviera, but hasnt won a singles match in three Ryder Cups.Furyk was also passed over despite finishing tied for fifth and shooting 58 at the Travelers Championship. He did not make it to the BMW Championship, but he lost four months of the season to wrist surgery and only started playing in May.Other candidates include second-year pros Daniel Berger and Justin Thomas. Berger won at Memphis and Thomas won the CIMB Classic in Malaysia last fall, but the task force decided not to start counting points until 2016.Were a sports team and we have to draft the right player for the right position, Love said. Theres going to be a lot of stats and a lot of things to look at. But making our pairings, fitting into the team, doing all the little things youre asked to do, these three guys fill incredible roles and a lot of different roles.Kuchar said he had heard rumors of another candidate.That last pick is going to be quite amazing. I dont envy Daviss position. So its a tough job. But gosh, imagine that, Tiger Woods playing for Team USA, being a captain, Kuchar deadpanned. That would be incredible.I was originally going to go with me and my son Drew and Tiger, Love quipped. But none of us have shown any form coming off of injuries.---AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson contributed to this report. ' ' '
