Has Lynch ever played for GB/ England? or has he retired from it?
peacock dint do much last year for me never mined this.

From wikipedia;

Years Team Pld T G FG P
2002–03 England 'A' 7 2 0 0 8
2003 England 5 0 0 0 0
2007 Great Britain 1 0 0 0 0

Not sure if he ever retired though.

On form alone this season he should be in there, but as Peacock's the captain there was no way he was going to get left out.

As much as Lynch deserves a place, the last thing we need is him tired and/or injured.

I think Briscoe is the only winger England have who is capable of something special. Hall is a very good finisher though, he's not a world beater but he deserves his place.

Charnley on the other hand is an average player in a very good team, any winger could score the tries he has this season given the expansive rugby Wigan play.

Put it this way, Briscoe could have scored the tries Charnley has this season if he had the service but there's no way Charnley could score some of the tries Briscoe has.

Surely the only reason these fixtures exist is to build an international squad for the 2013 World Cup? That being the case, its a complete waste of time picking Peacock, Carvell etc. They are already past it, and will be ready for the retirement home come the end of next season. McBanana is a joke, and a pretty unfunny one at that.

Charnley certainly deserves his selection, and Hall is the best finisher in the game (as proven at Wembley aginst the Aussies last Autumn). Briscoe has more natural talent than either but, lets be honest, his form has dipped a touch compared to 2011, besides, I'm sure his coach is secretly pleased he's not playing. The biggest joke of all has to be Ablett at centre. I think this is a late change based on the dramatic loss of form of Cudjoe, who was appalling against Rovers on Monday night. Goulding would have been the correct call based on current form.

Really??

Hodgson out Mcdonnell in at full back for exiles

What does Moa have to do to get a look in? I mean they've added Lauaki to to team ffs! Saying that, the way we have picked up injuries I wouldn't be bothered if any of our players didn't get chosen.

Agreed. I refuse to accept that Lauaki is in the same league as Sam Moa and Mickey Paea.

I guess he'd have to play for Wigan

Paea hasn't hit the heights I thought he would of done, although still only half a season into his SL career. But thought he'd of been better than he has been. I was actually gutted you'd signed him.
Back to Moa, imo he's arguably the best impact prop in the league for me. Runs it in hard and never takes a backward step. Has a great offload and again imo he's the most consistant 'big hitter' in the league.

just a thought, do players have to make themselves available for selection?

Im going for an england win tonight , dont think the exile team is as good as last year but thats imo

Knights 64 - 0 Ireland may be beter next year to play an under 25 exile team any thoughts

Danny Tickle doing well so far
