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

I'd agree. Quite surprised that Carvell hasn't been given a shot already TBH.

Fox did well to recover from his early error when NZ scored. Took his tries well although they were fairly simple and took the one high ball he had too.

He needs to defend better next week against the aussies though.

He didn't come out and publically say anything,Maybe he wasn't asked to comment about the selection of the French game


But he DID show his support to Tom, so stop nit picking



During their time in the England squad, Fox and Briscoe have developed a good friendship and in disappointing times, one has been there for the other.

"I feel sorry for Tom in this disappointing time," said Fox.

"Tom will bounce back from this.

"There's been no bitterness between us and we've helped each other out.

"I've been there to offer him advice before games and I expect him to offer me some before this game.

Well done Peter you had a good game and took your tries well.

Apart from their first try, which he held his hand up to, I don't think his defence was bad. NZ didn't attack solely down his wing, as some said they would.
The whole England team played a lot better than last week, they looked like a team instead of individuals.

Well done Foxy

Fox and Shaun Briscoe both did well tonight, as did most of the team in fact. Crabtree has been a revelation in this series IMO. I'm hardly Fox's biggest critic, you chump, but feel free to post my quotes slating him if you like. Good luck with that.

He shoots, he scores!

I will leave the boring quotes and boring account figures to you

you are so obsessed with Rovers

What ever floats your boat eh?
CBA to go fishing myself much prefer to talk about Rugby

He did

It was game that played too his strengths.

Very good going forward but can he defend. that is my concern . We shall find out next week.

sliding d stopped so he was in 2 minds not at fault bridge and eatmound stopped sliding leaving him in a no win situation stop trying to find fault and his runs from dummy half saved the forwards a lot of work.if a winger is to be called what as hall done

I dont see why rovers fans are so far up his . He played well against a average NZ that rarely threatened Englands outside backs, and when they did he was at fault. He strolled in for his second try and his first try was taken well. He will get ripped apart against the aussies.

Like they did when Briscoe fell over the French line you mean



Six tries in five internationals isn't a bad tally.

I think you'll find a very large thread on your own board where your fans were saying Briscoe was the next biggest thing because he fell over the froggy line twice.

Get a grip and a new pair of glasses.

yeah he had a great game, i thought both wingers played well

fox played well and took his tries well!
lets just hope he can take his great form against the green and inglis next week!
come on england!!!

Made up for him tonight. I'll admit i was a little worried before the game about his selection because i thought he'd looked a little short of confidence at the back end of the season but he looked very comfortable and confident tonight.

100% Sure of keeping his place next week imo.

As for another KR player in Briscoe i've been suprised to read a few fans question his contribution in this tournament. I reckon he's been solid as a rock and hasn't looked out of place at all but then as a Wiganer i'm possibly biased.

It's more a case of we are pleased for him after a)-him being dropped again,(he was very unlucky to be dropped last year for Calderwood,who got picked after 1 decent game)
and b)- the crap that has been posted about him from certain Fc fans on these pages.
