Would this be the same Shenton that put in 21 tackles against the French, more than any other back in the team, & missed only 1

No one pretends it's going to be easy against the likes of Inglis, but leaving out the one player who was head & shoulders above any other England back defensively against the most potent attack in the World is sheer lunacy.

My word. Didn't Henry Fa'fili score a hat trick on his wing before he just got peppered with kicks when he played for GB? Shame he was so bobbins, because Carney was in his pomp on the other wing.

Just a classic example of picking players based on the club they play for rather than their actual ability or form.

You mean like Myler being picked before Burrow, or Bridge being picked before Gleeson?

Pratt had a fine season that year, but like so many he was never international class.

I'm confused why do people keep puting for example Smith at left centre and saying he'll face Inglis, when big Greg played left centre also.

Jarryd Hayne was playing against the Kiwis, the world champions

he wasnt playing against Wales,

and if Shenton isnt getting the ball stuck out on the wing, come in and get it, demand it, work from the back, and MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
