Think we'll have Widdop at 6. Sinfield at 7 to start with Burrows coming off the bench. Agree that Sinfield isn't a 7 or a 13 but has played ok so far and what's the alternative now?

Ironic Chase out of squad for whatever reason when he's about to face his home country of origin in the a World Cup Semi Final which would have been the biggest game he's ever played in...good flair player but not a Cronk or a Thurston or even a Thomas Leulai. Shame Brough never given a look in something that Macnamara may regret after tomorrow afternoon!

We'll need our strongest pack possible against the Kiwis with Graham, Roby ,Hill, Westwood, Sam Burgess and O'Loughlin to start. Bench got to be George Burgess, Lee Mossop, Brett Ferres and Rob Burrow.

Chase not in the same class as Sinfield proved Saturday ok.

I thought Widdop and Sinfield played well on Saturday.
Widdop looked to put more effort in that one game that Chase had done in the previous 4(?).
MacNamara out and common sense to return to the England or preferably GB camp.

Widdop's performance on Saturday should ensure Chase never turns out in an England shirt again.
