The position has been lost by Fox rather than won by Briscoe and I think this serves as a harsh reminder to Fox that he needs to stop having poor performances.

I think he'll get a crack against the Kiwis and lets hope he shows his best form which is why he made the dream team this year.

You putting Fox above the aussie wingers? Fwiw Fox is nowhere near the quality of Ryan Hall for me never mind the aussie backs.

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
