Shaun Briscoe Peter Fox Chris Bridge Michael Shenton Ryan Hall Sam Tomkins Kyle Eastmond Adrian Morley James Roby James Graham Jamie Peacock Gareth Ellis Kevin Sinfield Bench: Sam Burgess Eorl Crabtree Ben Westwood Jon Wilkin Smith,Mcguire and Briscoe all deserved to be left out and Fox deserves his chance too. |

Really pleased for Foxy, he has a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of others. To most Rovers fans, he has nothing to prove. Chris Bridge? Hmmmmmmmm.......... |

Glad Fox has got a chance and hope he takes it - hopefully Bridge will not leave him exposed, like Smith et al did Briscoe. The absence of Inglis will help! Otherwise it is just Wilkin in for McGuire (via Eastmond), isn't it? |

Fox will need to be on his game, never been conviced about Bridge but Wire fans are saying he's been defensively consisitent. Really not keen in Peacock in the second row, prepare for five drives, not getting out of our 30 metre area and a poor kick. Yes, the Kiwis have got a big pack but they're also very mobile. That aside, it's England, I'm really looking forward to it and I'll be there shouting them on irrespective of club bias. |

Being proactive with your excuses, very efficient. |

Bridge and Fox are a terrible combination and why Peacock in the backrow again |

If I were Kearney I know what side I would be attacking. Fox is okay chasing kicks but put him under pressure in defence and even with ball in hand and then he becomes suspect imo and Bridge is crap. Together it could be a shambles. |

As big as shambles as last week with the Briscoe and Smith you mean ? |

Probably not, but only because New Zealand's backs aren't as good as the Aussies. Had Bridge and Fox been the partnership last week the score would have been no different. At the end of the day, we can blame McGuire, Smith and Briscoe for their positional play, but when there is that much room to run at the only ones to blame are the forwards. They were getting dominated and getting pulled into the middle which leaves massive spaces. If the Kiwi's v Aussies game was anything to go by it will be the same all over again on Saturday. |
