Former England and Lions star Guscott is a BBC rugby union pundit

There's no doubt who produced the performance of the week, and it wasn't the lucky punter who earned £250,000 for hitting the crossbar at the Saracens v South Africa game at Wembley.

Scotland's gripping 9-8 win over Australia no doubt had them, in the words of legendary former BBC commentator Bill McLaren, "dancing in the streets of Hawick" on Saturday night.

England lost again but showed signs of competence, in defence at least, against top-ranked New Zealand, Wales showed it is possible to score tries against Argentina and Ireland were too good for Fiji.

Jeremy, how far have England progressed this autumn?
Jake Norrish, Wales

Hi Jake. For me, England haven't developed at all through the autumn series. They were always going to play better against the All Blacks, all teams do. My main concern is that John Wells has been England's forwards coach since 2006 and I haven't seen an improvement in their play, which is very disappointing.

How many changes would you make to the England squad for the Six Nations? England's first game is against Wales and will no doubt be a formidable challenge. Would you keep this same squad which has struggled together for three games or bring back the (hopefully now healed) injured players who were forced to miss the autumn internationals? Personally, I think players like Delon Armitage and Riki Flutey will invigorate the England attack.
Tom Kendrick, UK

Tom, I would pick players on form and would have to see how players play between now and the first game against Wales. If Flutey and Armitage regain their form then I would have no hesitation in putting them back in the team. You will be able to see my selection on the BBC Sport website.

Jerry, it seems to me that our inside centres are really lacking any cutting edge - why is this? Is Jonny Wilkinson just not a very good fly-half to play with? And how will Riki Flutey fair playing with Jonny?
George Lewis, Jersey

After watching Saturday's game, are you still sure about your previous comment: "Dan Carter has eclipsed the Jonny Wilkinson of 2003". I think Jonny, then and now, is a better all-round and more consistent player.
Henry, England

George and Henry, Dan Carter is a better all-round player than Jonny Wilkinson. His kicking stats are good, he can tackle and his support play is brilliant. The biggest factor for me is that DC has a running game which JW can only dream about.

Can you bring yourself to say anything nice about Scotland this week? I realise this is against your principles, but you might be having a weak moment.
John Stoddart, United Kingdom

John, winning at this level is everything and Scotland fully deserved the victory on Saturday. I did say before the Scotland v Fiji game that I liked the look and balance of Andy Robinson's team, but I felt that although they won, they made a lot of unforced errors in that match.

Jeremy, I'm still struggling to understand how a talent like Mathew Tait has been constantly overlooked by the England set-up. Why can't the management see that Tait and also guys like Ben Foden have the potential to give the English backs a cutting edge?
Ian Brierley, England

Ian, the creativity of the team is sadly lacking and I have no doubt that the inclusion of Foden at full-back would at least offer something less predictable than we are currently seeing in the England team (although I wouldn't pick Foden ahead of Armitage).

We have seen this autumn that Matt Banahan is not the finished article, but I believe if he is guided and coached well we will see improved performances. He offers power and pace and having these options available in the back-line is good. But I also feel he needs to up his fitness by at least 25% to become the player he is capable of becoming.

I'm a Tait fan, but I would like to see more consistency in his club performances. Dan Hipkiss is a bit like Jamie Noon: as good as both of them are now, that's it, they won't get any better. They're good club players but unlikely to make it at international level. My back-line of available players today would be: Paul Hodgson, Jonny Wilkinson; Matt Banahan, Jon Clarke, Mathew Tait, Ugo Monye; Ben Foden. But form has been so inconsistent, this could all change tomorrow!

I'd like to get an outside view on the state of the Springboks. It is my personal opinion that our coach, Peter de Villiers, is a shocking tactician and thinker who got lucky by beating the weakest Lions, Australian and New Zealand teams I've seen for some time. However, his true ability is now shining through with some awful European results.

He says John Smit is our captain for the 2011 World Cup, but the man can no longer scrummage - how will he fare in two years! He also refuses to use extremely talented players like Francois Steyn and Jean de Villiers because they now ply their trade overseas. As for his tactics... what tactics?
Ryan, South Africa

Hi Ryan, my view from the outside would be that South Africa are doing well. I just think the players are mentally and physically drained from the earlier challenges of a Lions tour and the Tri Nations. I'm unsure of De Villiers as a coach, although I understand he has credentials from coaching younger South African age groups and being successful. All great teams possess great players, South Africa are no different and there will always be that debate: what makes the team? A great coach or the players?

Jezza - who would you put money on to win the Six Nations, going on what you've seen so far this autumn?
Aled, Wales

Aled, going on what I've seen so far I think France will win.

Why do all the ex-England players knock the current team and coaches? If we supported and got behind players through thick and thin perhaps they would get some belief in themselves, start to enjoy themselves and ultimately win - stop knocking, start supporting.
Roger, England

Roger, very few ex-players intentionally knock the England team, it's mostly a very personal critique. I don't think positivity alone would help make England a better team. I would be happy with improved performances, but we haven't even seen much of that on a consistent level over the last six years.

I think you very well know, and the whole rugby world knows, that if Pacific Island teams were given a month or two to prepare, there is no chance teams like Scotland and Wales would beat them.
Sam Navale, Fiji

Sam, it would be interesting to see and I hope we do in the future. I'm not sure if Fiji and Samoa would win though!

Hi Jerry, who would you say is the best forward of all time and the best back of all time? (aside from you of course!)
Mike, England

Mike, during my era of rugby the best forwards would be Michael Jones and John Hall and the best back would be a choice between David Campese, Jonah Lomu, Tim Horan and Serge Blanco.

As a BBC pundit could you please use your influence to do a Jimmy Savile and 'Fix It' for Johnno to meet with Brian Moore so that Brian can eloquently point out a few of England's tactical failings? And please could you Fix It for me so that there is a TV crew present?
Mat W, England

Mat, Brian wouldn't duck the opportunity to tell MJ what he thought, he might just say it in a different way! Their meeting, though, might best be commented on by David Attenborough rather than John Inverdale!
