Im ready to be proven wrong, but I dont think Mossop, Hill, Ablett, and Farrell are international class

I'm a huge fan of Graham. But Graham left the coach with no option.

It's the correct decision and the players have let themselves and the country down.

Peacock would have been nice to have in the team

I think it's time to move on and focus on the game now! What's happened has happened. For me (and I'm not mcbananas biggest fan!) he had no option but to leave them out.

Just imagine if we push them close! Or even worse imagine of we actually win!

This without the best prop, some would say best hooker and SOL!

Then and only then will positivity rein on RL Fans again!

Let's get behind the lads who are playing and not worry about the ones who arn't!

Nah don't be daft, it'd be a weak Aussie team or, an old classic, the Aussies threw the first game!

It won't be this. Farrell is on the bench with Ferres starting. Ablett is also on the bench.

Australia 42, England 12. (HT Australia 24 England 6)

BBC Commentators will be asking whether Graham could have made a difference.
Sinfield's kicking was not impressive. BBC Commentators will be asking why Widdop was not starting No. 6.

Second game Italy 46, Wales 6. (HT Italy 30, Wales 0)

BBC commentators wonder whether this World Cup is going to be a series of blowouts, except for a preordained final of Australia vs New Zealand.

As Sheens said on the telly just, Ben Westwood plays and even looks like Graham.

I didn't hear O'Loughlin's name mentioned in relation to the disciplinary issues so think his is just based on fitness.......which is actually more of a worry. Hopefully he can play a part in the other group games, if not then his involvement in the knockout stages doesn't look promising. After the Italy loss and off field stuff then another big leader on the pitch would be very important.

If Parker can make the Aussie team Ablett has nothing to worry about. I like Parker but he is solid, no frills was an offload. Ablett by plenty.

He's a fabulous player and his form for England has always been top notch. I'm sure he'll be right for next week or at worst the Fiji game. He's the ultimate professional so he'll do all he can to get it fit.

You certainly won't catch him skipping a booze ban or missing training.

You may not be far wrong their my pseudo French buddy!
