Schofield recommendations - surely they should already be doing these

A lot of the stuff that the Schofield Report recommends you'd rather hope that England were doing already. Such as:

Individually tailored fitness and conditioning programmes
It might just be that they're broadening this. We're fairly certain that England players don't just go into the gym and do what they please. The thrust of this recommendation is probably that this should apply to all England programmes, ie, the 'Performance Squad' and the under-19s. Increased professionalism at lower levels seems to be a theme of the report.

Medical screening
Provide 'world-class' medical support for centrally contracted players, the report says. They really should be doing this, but too many players are spending too long injured, so maybe it isn't happening.
