| Fiji just announced a 33-man training squad. Lovadua is in but Evans and Satae aren't. Are they having operations? Or are they just not as highly rated as Korben Sims?
I think I might still be supporting Fiji though. With 1 player they will probably be most FC side in the comp.

Lovodua is still in a knee brace and Satae is going back home to visit family.

| Does Sims ban still count?
Wonder how far Mitch was off a potential call up? Fiji have some monster outside backs

| Lovodua drops out due to injury.
Is Mitch our only representative at the WC?
Thought Sao mightve had an outside chance of a place in the Samoa team.

| Shows how poor our squad is that we don't even have anyone pretending to be Irish/Scottish/Welsh this time. Things can only get better!

Agree think we'll finish 2nd in our group.
Looking at the draw should be Fiji V NZ in the quarter final game played in Hull

| England is a poor squad, but not too much choice with the players injured, a few injuries and we look weak, whilst Aus, just have top players ready to come in.
I don't see the fuss with Mcclorum, think there a few better hookers than him, I wouldn't have him at Hull, offers zero threat with the ball, I'd have Leeming.
Smith over Sneyd too.

| Very pleased we don’t have many players taking part in the World Cup.
Means we won’t have them picking up injuries and hopefully all the fully fit players will return for pre season together rather than in dribs and drabs as seems to have been the case in recent years?

Putting club before country has always been the RL way, that’s why Rugby Onion makes so much money, emphasis on internationals.

| Looking forward to watching Tonga and Samoa play. Both teams look a handful.

| I’d genuinely consider us at 5th best on paper. NZ, Aus, Samoa and Tonga are all probably better then us on paper. Even Fiji have a host of quality players who would give us a good go. Ireland don’t have a bad side either, I think we will struggle to get to the semis and would be amazed if we managed to get to the final.
I’d love to see more hull players in the comp, representing your country in a WC is the pinnacle of sporting achievements.

| Have to say I'm struggling to get excited about the World Cup.
Whether that's the weakness of the England squad, the lack of Hull players in the tournament or just a general sense of apathy at the end of another disappointing season, I'm not sure. Probably a combination of all three.
