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".

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.

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.
