Over the last 24 hours the "discussion" has been turned into a witch hunt aginst Briscoe on here and the VT by your learned friend, with the statements about Briscoe's weaknesses and Fox's strengths being exaggerated 10-fold. Fox will do well to live up to this billing, good player though he is.
From being a witch hunt against Fox you mean by the original poster?
I wish Briscoe well like all the young players coming through the ranks, I just don't think he's good enough as an athlete to international RL.

Fortunately not tragic enough to resort to personal insults, however. Read the AUP. You wouldn't want to risk being unable to post 100+ times in 24 hours about the international inadequacies of a 19-year-old, would you?

How sad are you?? feel quite sorry for you, if all you can do is knock a poor kid on his debut against the best team in the world, i can only imagine your delight as you was sat watching Tom, marking him down, eagerly awaiting your chance to open up a thread on how dire he is??? ha ha ha your such a silly person, how did you think your own Briscoe do? to me he looked like what he is......... a second rate Radlinski, bring on the Fox against the kiwis, see how good he really is!!!!

Did FC look as though they wanted to Crush Wigan and strangle them until they screamed ? NO RL is a tough tough game and Maylord She-dong you have no clue In fact don't ever ever reply to any of my posts again

Irony alert! FWIW I thought Shaun had a pretty decent game.

Would you then expect him to be playing for England, or overlooked for a youngster who shows potential?
Briscoe did nothing wrong yesterday, the game just passed him by. Poor lad. Hope his confidence doesn’t get knocked by this.
I reckon Fox would probably have caught Inglis, but catching him & bringing him down isn’t the same thing…& they’d probably have scored on the next play anyway.
Yeah, Fox can make mistakes, but he’s a threat every time he carries the ball & kicking to him in broken play is always a risk. Young Briscoe is more solid but just doesn’t carry the same threat…not yet anyway. His time will come. He doesn’t deserve to be dropped on yesterdays performance, but Fox has earned his chance over the last 2 seasons & IMO should be given a go.
As for the rest of the game Smith & McGuire seem to be taking most of the flack here, but weren’t they left as badly exposed as poor Briscoe? Who would have done better?
Every time the Aussies poured through our right centre they had more runners than we had defenders. Did anybody notice any covering forwards?
This is the problem with playing props in the back-row. If you sacrifice mobility for power you’ll always be vulnerable to a quick shift of the ball…& who does this better than Thurston & Lockyer?
If we get to play them again we need to be more mobile.
Briscoe got caught out because of the ineptitude of a coach playing someone who's off to Rugby Yawnion . Smith's defence is shocking and was cruelly exposed in the World Cup and the game over the weekend. Gave Inglis far too much respect and room . Briscoe has been unfortunate to have such a crap centre playing for England.
