Didn't see that coming. Widdop in, McIlorum also dropped. Burrow I guess will start from the bench.

Probable team - Tomkins, Charnley, Watkins, Cudjoe, Hall, Widdop, Sinfield, Graham, Roby, Hill, Burgess, Westwood, O'Lochlin

Int.- Burrow, Burgess, Ablett, Ferres

(Mossop + Farrell omitted)

Can only think that it's so the Kiwi's couldn't provoke him into doing something stupid and getting sent off. Either that or the plan is leave the flair plays at home and go for the battering ram approach.

As long as we win I don't really care.

Come on England!

Dropping Chase is ridiculous. Widdop has done nothing this World cup and has only just come back from injury whereas Chase has been growing in confidence and stature with each game. No continuity at all, Mcbanana strikes again!!!

How many mins has Widdop played compared to Chase?

Crazy, of all the positions on the pitch the one you don`t want to mess with is your halfbacks unless injured. So Sinfield and Chase play together for 4/5 games build a relationship with themselves and the team and we change it for the semi

How weird !!! Maybe it also stops the chance of his cousin trying to break his leg.

Think your probably right but not too hard to work out, think o lochlin good miss out, think he is not right at moment.
