It would be harsh to blame briscoe i think it was more of a case that smith played better at wing than centre and eastmond looked really dangerous at centre.

The thing is he isnt even a centre, he was only playing there because leeds had no one else.

And he's only playing at centre for England because Smith holds a grudge against Martin Gleeson.

Gleeson even at 50% is the best right centre the country has.

Absolutely, it's nice to see a few coaches on here being shut up today.

Probably the same people bagging Crabtree before the game, he was comfortably one of our best forwards today.

Play Sinfield at 6 to start, allow some control that McGuire certainly can't offer, also hopefully allow the likes of Tomkins/Eastmond to continue where they left off today.

Don't think Morley and Peacock have the legs to be on the field at the same time these days so i'd rotate these two for the 80 mins.

Not going to bother writing a team up but I'd like to see Tomkins and Eastmond in the halves and McGuire dropped, with Carvell taking Eastmond's place on the bench. Lee Smith either dropped or moved to the wing.

ellis can solid up the defence on that side and adds some size to the backs, with the kiwis we need a bit of size, id use myler as an interchange hooker; we have to keep kyle and sam at 6 and 7

Christ no.....didnt work today with him in 2nd row....him and Morley at prop...with the over-rated Ginner and Carvell on the bench.

I agree about sinfield playing well at hooker and would start with sinfield at 9 against the kiwis.

Roby for me is not a starting hooker. His passing from dummy half ain't so hot either.

I wouldn't play eastmond and tomkins at 6 and 7 just yet as it's a lot of pressure for 2 young lads. Maybe next year I'd try them as these 2 our englands next super stars without doubt.

Ellis has to play right centre next week IMO.

Isn't Lee Gilmour fit? He always pays well at international level and would be better than Peacock at SR or either of the centres.

Who would you have instead?

If your only going to play 1 young half back then surely it has to be Tomkins on current form? The only senior half back in the squad is McGuire and on his last 2 performances he deserves dropping.

I'm a believer in 'if your good enough your old enough' and Eastmond and Sam would be our most dangerous pairing

I'd keep mcguire and tomkins at 6 and 7 for next week.

Eastmond and tomkins without doubt will be our halfbacks for next 10 years if they live up to it.

I'd play eastmond centre next week but if being honest he don't get enough of the ball at centre but offers a threat outwide with his running and pace.
