Just staring in disbelief at that squad. Quite incredible really. Looks like it's been drawn out of a hat. 6 from Leeds !!!! It's beggars belief . Bennett must have been reading quotes from McDermott after match interviews rather than the Leeds forum on here. I think it may just motivate our lads to push on even harder. They deserve the recognition. Overall I'm disgusted.

they've included every english based player who was involved in the last test series, hence the inclusion of all the injured ones (ward, briscoe etc.) plus about 6 new faces. possibly at this early stage they don't want to leave out anyone who played their part in a successful test series (continuity and all that).
and yes, that's the best possible reason i can come up with

He's not good enough for England, not to be be confused with he's not a good player because he is, but he's in a position in which we have world class talent.
Roby isn't out of form, Saints are out of form, Roby runs his blood to water and in an England side he'll still be the best hooker in the squad. Houghton is just unfortunate that he's playing at a time when there are simply better options than him.

Houghton has outplayed Roby several times this season. It depends whether the Aussie picks on form or reputation.

Every coach of the England/GB team in recent years has picked players on reputation rather than form and each of them has failed. Time to pick players who are playing well IMO. The inclusion of players like ward, amor and walmsley are laughable
