Looks like Briscoe is in front of Charnley now.

Doubt anyone will agree with me here, but if England make the final.

Roby and Burrow on the bench could be a master stroke.

Probably right, nobody will agree with you and as we are stuck with Sinfield I think the policy is Widdop to cover half's although most would start him and bring Roby on for impact

I like Burrow on the bench. As impact goes, he is a massive impact

Really want to see Widdop have a full game at stand off instead of chase rather than having the final 20 minutes to prove himself. But to be fair burrow will make more of an impact with an injection of pace around the ruck.
I would of had 6 Widdop 7 Sinfield 9 Roby and 14 Burrow

This would be my preference from the current England squad, too.

Burrow will add real impact from the bench.
I think Widdop would fit in McNamara's halfback structure better than Chase currently does.

MacNamara is desperate for the Chase and Sinfield combo to come good; however 3 years in I am starting to doubt whether it ever will.

It is madness not to give Widdop a full game at stand off; he must be wondering why he has bothered with it.

How come Widdop is suddenly the great hope for England?

He's missed half the season with a very nasty injury and has hardly turned the games around when he's been on the field.

Why is he messing around with the hooking role? Why is it McIlorum or Roby when there is a place for both in the 17?

I think Fiji will prove tough in more ways than one.

Aye, but don't forget Charnley had to go against Australia. Briscoe had Ireland.

Still think he'd do a better job than chase even though he's only played half a season at least he's consistent whereas I think chase drifts in n out. At least Mc Namara could give him a full 80 mins.

And Briscoe is still better than Charnley anyway, it was that leisurely jog back that cost Charnley I reckon. That's down to attitude/thought process, nothing else.
