Chase was on his last chance to impress last week and failed.
Widdop starts with Burrow coming off the bench.
This weeks selections will give the team direction and width for the edge players to come in to there own, look out for ST getting more ball to run with.

And forget about the discipline angle, think more dummy spit for not being picked!!

Or he completely ignored team orders for the entire second half against France and got dropped.

McIllorum wasn't good enough at test level and got dropped.


But that's too boring.

Quote Big Jim Slade="Big Jim Slade"Assuming this is accurate it could explain it... t.co/tCLLc4AkWn Oh, and Ablett ahead of Mossop and Farrel for me - size, versatility and experience'" No one seen training day. Context chase used it was obviously playful, matey. I don't think he's been dropped for that, come on.

Who'd a thunk it eh? He played poorly, and got dropped.

Too simple. Must be some form of conspiracy, you can trace this thing back to the president of the united states.

If this is purely tactical

Good on banana cake
I think chase has probably not been good enough and Micky Mac I really can't see playing for England again.
That's how bad I thought he was.

Watkins has had his chance and I don't think he is 100%
Ablett would be a much better option for centre.

Nice comp between Charnley an Briscoe.
Both quality.
Charnley is probably the better player, but Briscoe played the best out of the games for England.

I agree with the context of the comment but the twitter account has now been removed...Seems an odd coincidence mere days after it being created if he hasn't had some kind of comeback from it.

If that is the case (which it's not IMO) then the love of your life - Danny Brough AKA Wally Lewis and Lockyer combined, would almost certainly have been dropped for the games that matter had been selected.

Which was thwarted when he took his teddies and toddled off because he wasn't a guaranteed, 100% first choice starter, key player, hero heartbeat of the team.

Strong attitude.

He's been dropped because he was was poor in the last game.

He had twitter for barely any time and made 2 tweets. The chances are he deleted it because he tryed it, and wasn't into it.

The chances are the management probably weren't even aware of his second tweet, if they were they probably had a few words that he needs to be careful what he writes, maybe chanse thought it wasn't worth the hassle after this and deleted it.

But seriously, dropping him from the biggest games because of one throwaway tweet which wasn't even bad?

No.

Or he may have played ok.

But that would be boring.

Charnley has just tweeted a picture of the England squad at their hotel. Name the only two players not in the picture

Apparently Mac told rangi he wouldn't be playing on Saturday, chase went nuts and was last seen doing the haka in the middle of Chorley!
