We should be playing France. They’ve named their squad to play Wales below. They’d be ideal opposition for an England side without its NRL players, and it’d then be a proper International fixture.
France squad v Wales
Julian Bousquet, Alrix Da Costa, Jordan Dezaria (all Catalans), Morgan Escare (Salford), Ben Garcia, Mickael Goudemand, Benjamin Jullien, Matthieu Laguerre (all Catalans), Paul Marcon, Anthony Marion (both Toulouse), Arthur Mourgue (Catalans), Romain Navarrete, Eloi Pelissier (both Toulouse), Arthur Romano, Cesar Rouge (both Catalans), Justin Sangare (Toulouse), Paul Seguier (Catalans), Maxime Stefani (Toulouse), Louis Jouffret (Halifax), Foud Yaha (Catalans).

| Quote: chapylad "Personally I would like to see a game that puts Wanes perceived first choice 17 (minus those playing in Oz) against those on the fringe.
It adds more meaning to the game as players would be up against their direct opposition and gives those fringe players a chance to prove the coach wrong.
Rugby Union did it years ago with probables v possibles.'"
Agree especially as wane has only had 1 game in charge so far. I guess he’s having to keep the clubs happy by spreading selection around.
From a Leeds perspective, bit worried all of our 3 strong contingent of props are playing, hope they come
Through unscathed. |

It'd be better to play a couple of tests vs France IMO. At least we'd be playing a bona fide opposition rather than some "back of a fag packet" side that's been cobbled together at the last minute like a pub team.
The England squad is short of quality and depth - hence the inclusion of various Warrington players and a few of Wane's old favourites. I fear it'll be 1982 all over again at the World Cup so the more chance to try and build a bit of understanding the better.

Agree. 1 test in France and 1 in the UK. it'd be much better. |

Interesting to see Leeming say Wane had given him some very specific feedback about what he needed to improve. Namely his defence. I agree with that 100% and was really happy to read that Leeming accepted it and resolved to improve. |

Yep. Mixed as in veering between amazement and disbelief.
