IMO Tom Briscoe deserved his place in the two opening games Fox has has been said before has dipped in form of late. I thought Lee Smith along with Mcguire left Briscoe very exposed on the wing at times by moving to far infield and jumping into the line. Neither of the second rows or Sinfield covered across the back line in the first half and this again left the outsie backs exposed to the long cut out passes and pace of the aussies. Will be interesting to see the selction for the game against the Kiwis.

maybe we had his identical twin playing that day

He fended off diagnol chasers who caught him and it was a good try but like I say, he doesn't have the athletic ability to play international RL as a three-quarter because his ball recovery is too slow and can't stop people from long distance - Why can't you just accept it?

You mean he's erratic and a liability in defence? I take it you're not comparing his attacking prowess to offiah's

The previous 71 posts you have made on this subject since last night were increasingly extreme in their tone, but this morning you've outdone yourself. When someone posts that Briscoe had actually been physically sick after a heavy collision, you try and make an unnecessary and spiteful joke about it.

He wasn't last night. Even tug boat wellens would have given more

In last weeks game against France, Tom Briscoe's lack of agility was exposed when Bosc put a kick through for Pelo and he took an age to turn and it was so obvious to anyone that the Aussie game-plan would be to kick behind Tom Briscoe knowing that by the time he recovered the ball, the defensive line would be smothering him, leaving England on the back foot without any chance of an effective "exit set".
So how many tries did the Aussies score off short range kicks? You question his pace yet he was gaining on Inglis all the time which is something even i didn't think he was capable of doing.

Not at all. It was a genuine post. It can't have been nice for the kid to be in a game he could have little effect on due to his lack of athletic ability.

Tony Smith is the one to blame for picking him in the first place.

Inglis is not particularly fast as such although he ain't no slouch. He scores tries by fending off defenders rather than running around them.

Look back at the footage of that particular try. Shaun Briscoe was gaining quicker than Tom Briscoe and Fox leaves Shaun for dead.

He was found out and it was the right decision to replace him. The second half performance in both attack and defence justified it

T.Briscoe will not play next week. As I had said all week I feared for our centres against Oz, particularly the right centre up against Inglis simply because we do not have a world class or even international class centre available at the mo in this country. Unfortunately for Tom he suffered on the back of this.

Morley, Peacock, McGuire and Lee Smith all had poor games but I cant see any of them missing out next week.


Think McGuire has to be dropped. I'm not convined by Myler though. I think if Sinfield moves it should be to hooker (slow ptbs suit him there), with Burgess at LF. Eastmond worked well at right centre (and Tomkins, Eastmond and Burgess is an odd looking 'creative triangle'). I wish Brough was in the squad.
