"Management consultant Gerard Murphy was employed on the quiet by the Rugby Football Union as a liaison between the team and management shortly after moving to the UK with his company Elite Team Performance.
Murphy, who spent most of his life in Australia, has worked as a consultant to everyone from West Ham to Crystal Palace to the Australian rowing team, according to his website.
But Wednesday's leaked report reveals in his work for Johnson he was seen as more of a barrier than a liaison, earning the nickname “The Buffer” among players.
To add insult to injury, the role Murphy played in England’s World Cup failure was pinpointed by the Premiership Rugby clubs in the review.
“Johnson was appointed for his no-nonsense, humble, hard working character, his extremely high values and honesty,” it read. But it adds: “Johnson’s personality has been completely stripped away due to placing his trust in Murphy.”
Players told their clubs that it often was apparent that Johnson was about to tear them off a strip, only to be held back by Murphy.
Murphy, a consultant-turned-psychologist, subjected the England side to psychological testing in the build-up to the World Cup.
Under the tests, carried out by Murphy, the players were asked to complete detailed questionnaires, which assigned each member of the squad an identity, comprising a colour and a bird.
Veteran centre Mike Tindall was labelled a green dove, prop Andrew Sheridan a blue owl and winger Chris Ashton a yellow peacock."

So long as that odious shit retains even the slightest interest in anything connected to our club, I will not set foot in The Valley.
Spoken like someone who has lost the love and will find any excuse not to return. I worry there’ll be a lot of these
New owners will need help and fans to progress the club and to finally get rid of RD. Staying away will only prolong the agony and RD’s stench. Wrong choice in my humble opinion but each to their own.
Yes we would be involved with someone who made his dosh by sticking his hand up a ducks arse ---- still will fit it well with burger Boy who has his tongue stuck up a Belgium OAPs arse.
I actually went last night and I felt a bit like I had let myself down, but seeing the pictures of the Muir in a CAFC scarf stopped that. He has gone or is definitely going, IF we make Wembley people should go back as in the long run you will regret missing out more than he will. Until last night I didn't really believe it was even close to happening, but now I think we are only days from Roly's departure. It has been 972 days since I last witnessed a competitive fixture at The Valley, I went to The Legends game earlier in the season, and it was odd going back. Odd and I felt sad at what I had missed, The Valley has been a part of my life so long.
Thanks to another poster on here for talking me into going. (If he doesn't sell the boycott is back though)
He is passionate about the topic of nutrition, in particular educating children about healthy eating, and strongly believes that Australians need to take meaningful action to tackle the growing obesity problem. It was his desire to act on this problem, that saw him establish The Good Foundation.
