Glad those rumours a year or two ago about us signing Brough never came true. Sent home from the WC for being too drunk to board a flight along with two other Scotland players.

Pelissier has been sent home from the French team too for breaking a curfew.

An opportunity to play in a WC and guys can't behave themselves for a month.

Complete bell Captain of his country aswell.

Makinson should have been in the squad as cover for wing and full back.

Yeah said that myself

England were really poor in the second half. The execution of attacking plays was just off. Gale did sweet FA for the second game in a row. Clearly most of the attacking play is going to the right down Widdopp's side, but we need to be far more balanced in terms of threatening both sides more often. At least the game against France gives Bennett a chance to have a look at some options.

The biting incident didn't look great, although it did look like Farah's arm was pushed into McGillvray's mouth rather than him trying to bite it. It was interesting to see Farah after the match. Farah is such a bad sport.

Whilst Ireland have at least played hard, Wales and Scotland have been embarrassingly bad. Its not just attitude, some of the puddings on display for both sides would look overmatched in Qld Cup reserve grade IMO.

McGillvary charged and will face disciplinary on Wednesday.

Completely agree he was in great form aswell imo.

I agree. Drop Gale, replace him with Williams.
Replace Currie with McMeeken & Bateman with Percival.

I would have liked to see Makinson in the squad but who would you have left out?

Either Percival as I think Bennett would actually play Currie at centre before him if one of the current starters were injured or lose one of the FB's. Makinson and Widdop provide cover there.

Fair point Printer but I think if we left Percival out some would say we were taking too much of a risk at centre.
Bennett like you say seems to prefer using the likes of Currie and Bateman at centre so based on that logic yes leave Percival out for Makinson.
You could also add Ratchford or Lomax to centre as cover too which does make you wonder why Makinson wasn`t selected.

Watkins should move to the wing, and Currie to centre. Although, no way McGilvery should be banned IMO.
Roby has to start
