Yes. And I wasn't one of those predicting that he'd fail, either.

Thought he had a pretty solid game overall. Made a mistake that lead to NZ's first try but didn't let that get to him and was defensively sound for the rest of the game.

Took his two tries well, although I reckon most wingers in SL would have scored them. Certainly did enough to retain his place for next week.

If you can find a single post of mine where I criticised the selection of Fox or suggested that he'd be a failure you might have a point.

But you can't. In fact I defended him on one thread on our board.

i thought fox did well.maybe getting dropped was the kick up the jacksie he needed.he was left 2 on 1 for their 1st try(no sliding defence,just like t briscoe was last week) n gets no blame from me.dont care who any of our players play for domestically as long as they give their all for england n great britain.
roll on next week.

Well played Fox. He was at fault for the first try but recovered and took both his trys well. Solid performance - will get picked next week against the Aussies which is the REAL test



BTW didn't see him come out and publicly support Tom Briscoe when he was bypassed for the French game. We now know which player has the most class, at least.

Has to be the same 17 next week for me.

And your point is?

Hmm, I think Wilkin will be dropped next week. Other then that spot on, has to be the same 17

I'd bring Carvell in for Wilkin.

Was Wilkin playing ??

Exactly. Think he came on with 20 ish minutes to go

I would stick another prop in there really try and smash the aussies into the ground, rather then have an interchange back row
