I see 3 open areas to the try line for the aussies

Shenton, McGuire/Tomkins and Sinfield.

To counter that though Tomkins/Eastmond could cause the Aussies problems.

Sadly I can't see the Aussies allowing that, but I can see them running through the open areas.

One day however it WILL change.

Sadly as things are at present, that day will be long after my time on this planet.

Crabtree played Centre under Smith at Hudds..

Also has features at 2nd row as well as prop this year for Hudds.

Im worried about the lack of a kicking game especially is Sinfield goes AWOL as he tends to do at international level. For me the half back partnership consists of 2 stand offs who have better running and passing skills than positional kicking skills. No 40 - 20s for us in this game!

I would prefer to have Burgess/Crabtree in the 2nd row to peacock (quicker feet) and rotate Graham from the bench for Morley and Peacock at prop.

Shenton



I bet Inglis is sh*tting himself

I suspect we may see Eastmond stepping in at dummy half if Roby takes a break.

carvell should have been there instead of westwood

Or even Sinfield, with Burgess going to loose

Fox scored 3/4 tries against the Welsh and French last year,and set up a try for Myler,but then got dropped for Calderwood in WC!!
Personally I think T Briscoe is rather fortunate to be in the team,but that's my opinion.

You mean the centre thats done more defensive work than all our other backs? and has missed less tackles than most of the back line?

Id like to see Eastmond at 9 to be honest.

nothing to do with your red n white status then



Fox is so last year.

Tom Briscoe is a better option than Fox in my opinion, a lot more defensively capable.
