If Ben Harrison decides to play for england and not ireland i believe he should be in Englands squad he as been awsome this year and deserves a place.

A good interchange prop, interchange SR.

He's one for the future without question but the pack is easily England's strongest asset at present and the front row especially pretty much picks itself when everyone's fit

Haha no, but a quick Google search just told me who they are. I shouldn't have used cricket as an example because I don't know the first thing about the game or the players, I just know Pietersen because he's so high profile but for all I know he could have played for South Africa then switched to England.

I still think it's a bad rule though and an insult to your "fellow countrymen" that you choose to represent then turn your back on when it suits.

I also agree with the comment above about the Great Britain (and Ireland) team. I know the RFL want to increase interest in Scotland, Ireland and especially Wales but emerging nations tournaments featuring them and England 'A' were a good way to do this while allowing GB and I to take on the Aussies and Kiwis. By all means break it up 10-15 years down the line if/when Crusaders and any other exapansion teams have developed enough players for a strong Wales side to genuinely compete with England (if they ever do) but it was absolutely done far too early.

Maybe develop enough Welsh players to play for Crusaders first maybe

Breaking up GB&I was all about getting funding from Sport England.
