I think your previous comment about him needing to do more work is a little bit harsh. His metres from scooting is a real strength of his, in the previous internationals ive seen him go in to try and do it and be pushed back out to the wing by people like scott moore. Briscoe is looking for the work imo but isnt being allowed to do it.
Still, lets see how he goes on Saturday.
Despite Fox's poor performance he still made more than twice as many yards as Briscoe and has a far higher work rate and is far quicker out of dummy-half.
Many would disagree but I'd have played Tom Briscoe in the centre opposite Inglis specifically to try and nullify Inglis's threat because I think if you stop Inglis, the forwards my pummel the Aussies up the middle.
Good luck to Tom Briscoe though, I'm just pleased that we all won't have to be subjected to the likes of Wellens, Gardner & Sykes in the back 5
As in?
