Thats what i think aswel,no point in over playing our players and not coming up with the wrong results.



Fingers crossed though everyone is injury free Friday night/saturday/sunday morning.

Seems we have 5 players in the team, with only Ryan Atkins missing out:

How did Lomax miss out?

According to McBanana you have to show good form over a period of time not just 7 or 8 weeks.

and peacock captaining???



I had all the faith in the world for the banana but that is the stupidest decision possible.



He has only been back a short while and hasn't shown any great form. To play is too much; never mind to captain.

Morley, Peacock, Sinfield and Carvell should not have played in this game. We should be looking forward to the 2013 World Cup.

The younger players should have been given a chance.

Not sure about all of those.



2 props should have with 2 young ones.



Props do improve with age.



Got to agree with Sinfield though.

Absolutely..... it should have been a game to blood younger players.



imagine the uproar of one of those players gets an injury that keep them out for a while.

Has he actually said this about Lomax? The selections of Sinfield, Wilkin (As a back rower) and McIllorum seem to be going against that.

Not Lomax directly i think he ment younger players in general. Mcillorum is different we hardly have anyone left to play hooker.

I agree with you on this one,It seems the mature3 way to go about things as an international to breed players through,Not to use the same players that never won us the world cup,Although them players mentioned are senior and most experienced players.Lets show some signs of getting better through the younger ranks aswel,nice post mate!

Chris Bridge, Richie Myler, Ben Westwood, Adrian Morley and Garreth Carvell are all named in McNamara's England line-up for the Exiles game this Friday.



please dont get injured.
