Danny Brough played for and captained Scotland in the World Cup. Decided atfer that he was too good and wanted to play for England. England said no thanks so Scotland took him back. A few good games for the Giants and once again he is too good for us and wants to play for England . Mr Bannana thinks "that might be a good idea" and picks him.
Danny Brough out injured (REALLY GUTTED FOR THE LAD). Pity it would have been interesting to see him and Kevin (it's ma ball) Sinfield fighting with each other to see who takes the kicks on the sixth tackle .
International selection system a complete and utter farce . 
Wonder how many Welsh players England pick for the 4 nations ?  |

I understand it perfectly, the lad is English and due to his form over the last couple of years and an injury to our first choice hooker he has an opportunity to play for his country and he has taken it, before that he qualified to play for Ireland and as he wasn't selected to play for England he opted to play for Ireland. Can you blame him? Its all within the rules. |

I have no issue with him what so ever and I don't think anyone else does. I'd do exactly the same thing. What I do have issues with, are the rules of the game. I do believe that you pick your country and stick with it. This weakens Ireland considerably just to cover an injury in the English team.
This is an argument for another day though.
good luck to MM  |

Just on a side note not sure wether its been previously discussed but assuming both start I wonder who the Exiles kicker will be Richards or Hodgson both top class kickers any thoughts.

I have 2 words to sum up the England V Exiles game.......................WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!
Absoulute waste of time, money, advertisment and the risk of teams key players getting injured, it will never take off, nor will it ever get taken seriously by any supporter, just like the Lancashire v Yorkshire.

Bookies have them to win by four. Can't wait for Friday myself, just wish I could be at the ground.

No.
And I wouldn't use the word 'probably' either.

Exiles by at least 8 for me. My money will be going on that. Englands backs bar Tomkins are tripe! And with Brough being injured the half backs are even worse!

Who cares? A thread on almost every board, a 16-page thread on the VT, players in both squads saying they can't wait for Friday.
Even those who claim to have no interest in the game have come on here to give their view on the match. |
