Danny Brough and Jonny Lomax should be in the halves and Goulding has to be at Right Centre. McBanana should be sacked as the Exiles will hammer us....

I mean for christ sakes its not difficult to pick players who play in there regular position like they do at club level is it??? How on gods earth Jonny Lomax, Danny Brough, Darrell Goulding and Mickey McIlroum arent in the side beggers belief. Carl Ablett is a second rate backrower who is named in the centres??? Give me a break!!! Kevin Sinfield is never an International Stand Off whilst Ive got a hole in my booty. Rangi Chase should be no where near the squad as he has been very poor all season. Jamie Peacock is well past his sell by date and along with Morley (I know Morley has been dropped and Peacock should have followed suit) shouldnt be anywhere near the squad especially as Captain!!!

Are people seriously suggesting they'd pick McIllorum over Roby or Burrow?

Re: England 17 for Saturday : Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:02 pm  

I would have McIllroum on the bench as back to Roby yes. Burrow hasnt showed the form this year to warrant International selection.

Re: England 17 for Saturday : Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:52 pm  

It's a poor team! I'd have gone with something like:

1). Tomkins
2.) Charnley
3.) Goulding
4.) Atkins
5.) Hall
6.) Brough
7.) Lomax
8.) Mossop
9.) Roby
10.) Carvell
11.) Hock
12.) Tickle
13.) O'Loughlin (c)

14.) McIlorum
15.) Crabtree
16.) Lynch
17.) Hill

Older players to be replaced by the english players who are in Aus at the world cup.

Are you seriously suggesting that Burrow has been better that Mcillorum

You can't pick a hooker for test rugby who has to defend out wide because he's a midgit.

Ablett at centre though - WTF!? If England can't muster a centre better than him, it's no wonder we can't beat Australia.
