I agree. Whoever England pick on Sat are in for a torrid time against the current Oz backline. I hope the younger plays learn from the experience.

I would like to see T Briscoe keep his place, he is definately one for the future and we should use the the opportunity to blood the younger lads (Tomkins, Myler etc) against the Aussies and Kiwis.

Can't see how wearing some sort of Elizabethan fancy collar is going to particularly help?

I would because playing against the very best players in the world doesnt happen that often and what better experience then actually playing against them? If the younger players you mention are going to develop then they need to see the standards set by the Ozzies. It may be painful but hopefully will make our players better for the experiance.

Briscoe at full back, Eastmond at 7 and Tomkins at 6.

Agreed.

But it won't happen because all 3 dont play at Warrington.

I would keep Briscoe in personally, but there is growing opinion that he doesn't offer enough going forward which i have stated on here before and got shot down for it, but it could cost him the England jersey.

Did you not know about the new kits? The Aussies are all wearing hats with corks, the French, Berets & the Kiwi's ??? Well Im not sure about the Kiwis

I'd go with that,(but know that Tony Smith won't)and put Gareth Ellis and Shenton as centres with Lee Smith and Ryan Hall on the wings.

If you mixed up your trolling with an occasional positive comment, then your criticisms might be viewed as legitimate topics for debate. I'd be happy to discuss RL with you - you clearly know enough about it to be capable of being interesting - but you do understand why the attritional 'banter', can get tiresome and make people reluctant to engage?
