I wouldn't have Hock in. I think Ferris is unlucky to be 1st reserve when Hock has not performed anywhere near the same as him this year

I hope england fail big time SM is a joke of a coach only picks plsyers on name and club rather than form like already said 4 players from all english dream team.farrell and hock have been no where near as good as kirmond this season

Thought Kyle Amor would have been in the squad. He's a saints player now.

The Aussies will be rubbing their hands at the thought of Hardaker at fullback.



Looking forward to Endland getting their ar5es kicked now there's no Wakey connection.

not hudds! dropped crabtree/ferres..doesnt like brough or lunt!

He picked Dale Ferguson after he moved to Shudds from us and he'd not even put a purple and gold shirt on. Had he stayed at Wakey he wouldnt have got a sniff.

ferguson? whos he? hes a bradord player

Although Aussie will very likely beat us, how can you look forward to our national team getting their backsides kicked ?

Surely, even if our own choices don't make the squad, we should still support the team.

I agre. Don't understand the anti England thing no matter who plays

I agree with you and its not about the players its the coach he is a joke kirmond was far better thsn hock n farrell last season but its clubs and names to him as was ferres by the way brough should have been in too and i know he play for scotland but he wouldnt have if mac wanted him

What, even if they're not English and would rather be playing for their own countries???



Pick English players on form, not reputation and I'll support them. Pick reputations and foreigners and I'll support whoever "England" are playing.



I hope we do get stuffed because I'd like to see McNamara lose his job!

Fair point about picking English players to play for England but, the Aussies and Kiwis play for all of the southern hemisphere countries, not to mention France or Ireland etc, etc, but in the world we are in, this happens in all sports and not just RL and I agree with you about MacBanana, who seemed to get the gig because he was "available".

However, there is no way EVER, that I could support the team playing against England, just so the coach loses his job.



Also, bear in mind, how many coaches we've had over the last 30+ years and none of them have managed to create a team that can truly compete with the Aussie, so changing the coach wont be the magic ingredient.



We need more youngsters coming into the game, something that franchising started to change but now, with the domestic game dying on its backside, we are getting further away from being competitive but, this wont stop me supporting the national team.



Following England is a bit like following Trin. We're not expected to win the big prize but, i'll still be there supporting my team(s).
