| I thought these games were supposed to give the England team a feel for playing together.. as such I CANNOT understand why you would obliterate your starting 13. One or two changes perhaps but they might as well rename this England A v the exiles as come seasons end, or in the world cup with your o/s players there might, and I mean MIGHT be 5 of those guys playing

| How are Wally McIlorum and Mal Goulding not selected? This is an outrage!
I'm going to throw a paddy now and refuse to support the Exiles concept!

| Quote SFW="SFW"I'd go with another prop instead of Ablett but in the absence of one this is pretty much the team I would pick too. It's an ideal opportunity to bring a young prop into the squad, to get used to the environment more than anything.
Sinfield not dropped but being rested. I can't contain the excitement when I think of this painfully bad international player lining up at 6 for England in the World Cup. Gives someone an opportunity to keep him out I suppose, let's hope somebody takes it.'"
I think there's a lack of good young props in the whole league to be honest. Maybe Larne Patrick, Chris Hill or Scott Taylor could have been selected, but aside from them who is there coming through?

| I would of picked Larne Patrick on his own patch aswell but hey I got giants glasses on! Can't wait to see this team play but still think if we are going to change the team from one game to another then why couldn't we have England v England to help decide who to take to these big games!

| as i have mentioned on another topic we are not short on forwards
carvell
crabtree
morley (maybe if can reach form again)
hill
mossop
farrell
graham
sam burgess
luke burgess (been better than sam this year imho)
ellis
patrick
lynch
lms
tickle
westwood
hock
jjb
o'loughlin
cooper
harrison
heighington
bateman
currie
and i know warrington in the youth setup we have a few ready to step up that look exciting
jack cooper (mike coopers brother has just spent a year in aus playing in the toyota)
laithewaite good young backrower
brooke broughton (beast and fast if you watched the 9's last night you will see)
danny bridge (chris bridges brother may defect from ireland if given the choice)
glenn riley (big unit with a good offload)
its really the backs that we are miles behind but we are catching up
full backs we are now producing talent in tomkins, ratchford and eden
wingers we have hall and a few others that are developing well in briscoe, charnley, riley and bjb
centres we have atkins and i would say reed behind that there is youth in hardaker, watkins, cudjoe, goulding
so/sh this is where we are lacking at the moment the best we offer is probably brough and chase (and he aint english)
but again in youth coming through we have some talent lurking in gaz o'brien, hampshire, stevie ward, lomax
so we are catching up slowly but we are getting there

| It's the lack of props that confuses me. Weve had Peacock retire and need to look at options to replace him yet only select 3 in the whole squad.
I'd have picked Chris Hill and Larne Patrick in the squad and wouldn't have been against LMS or Paul Prescotts selections (although he looks to be injured again so he'd be doubtful anyway).
Baffling really.

Scott Taylor is another one.

| Think it's a decent squad and it will be good to expose the likes of Broughton & Ratchford as we might need to call on them. I think Broughton is one of the best wingers in the game. Speed to burn and if he played for Wigan or Warrington he would have 20+ tries this year. Think the partnership of Brough & Lomax looks so much better than Chase & Sinfield.
