we should play ellis in the , hes played there before and will be good defensivly. bring westwood in at 2nd row and put crabtree/ harrison on the bench. didnt brown used 2 b a maybe another option because hes not performing at stand off

He was pretty ordinary 'defensivly' yesterday.

Why would he be any better against Australia?

The aussie score is going to be very, very ugly for england

The problem for England is they HAVE to win this one whereas Australia don't.

Have England got the cojones to play attacking expansive footy and cause a big upset though?

I would suggest not... but they really do have to give it a go

Why do you think this is-used before and failed, maybe a bad influence in the squad, maybe Mcnamara is looking at the next world cup

You reckon McNamara will still be in charge then?

You never know- Whoever comes in he will have some younger players with Int experience.

But just because they have 'international experience' it doesnt necessarily make them any good?

Thats a bit like saying I'm going to buy a pair of pants that have a waistband that comes up just below my nipples because Simon Cowell wears them

I suspect given the smallish pool of decent Eng players you would hope he has picked 80% of the future-good or bad.

Dont you wear high waisters like your brothers on the farms in Aus

I think this 'smallish pool' of decent England players you speak of must be incredibly shallow if a bloke that cant get a game at the Melbourne Storm is a first choice starter

No more shallow than the Australian Rugby League pool seeing as though you have turned to a 31 year Rugby Union reject to play on the wing
