Look back at the footage of that particular try. Shaun Briscoe was gaining quicker than Tom Briscoe and Fox leaves Shaun for dead.
Inglis is quicker than most, no point bringing Fox into this he can't handle it at any level where there's pressure,besides if we just went on pace Calderwood would be ahead of everyone.

He evaded three defenders and Vella only caught up as Tom had to keep skipping out of tackles.

Tony Smith is the one to blame for picking him in the first place.
So you are "genuinely" saying he vomited due to psychological trauma?

That's not the point. It's been posted a couple of times that he was physically sick after a heavy collision. Zod made a "joke" that he was sick because he wasn't up to the job and when challenged said it was "genuine" comment.

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.
well said, at least one Rovers fan isn't sat with red and white glasses on

Eastmond was a revelation when he came on yesterday - the back line defense solidified with the removal of Smith to the wing. He must start next week and Smith should be dropped. Eastmond as centre, and Tomkins, Myler and weak McGuire as the halves, one of which on the bench. Looks inexperienced 'cos it is and exposes Smith's madness at leaving out Burrow.
Shaun Briscoe had a good game and should remain at fullback. If Briscoe's confidence hasn't been blasted to smithereens he should not be penalised for yesterday's shocking display by his inside backs and tried again next to someone competent. If he was substituted because of injury this should happen.
However, I suspect Smith did make him the scapegoat and his unfathomable decision to leave Rah-Rah bound Smith on leads me to believe him blind with regards to Lee Smith. He must be, as otherwise he would never have included someone about to leave the game in this squad. This series is his chance to cement the future - Lee Smith will not be the future and - even if he had proven himself a competent centre in this tournament, should still not be in the squad. If Fox can prove in training he is out of dropsy mode, I think he'll get the nod.
As for ZZZZZod, I can only assume you suffer from some sort of psychotic obsessive delusional disorder.
