Yikes,

And I thought the smiley faces would show it was a tongue in cheek remark. Clearly you have had a humour bypass.

Just for you in straight forward language, no joking, just a humourless comment.

No I don't, he has played well in the tournament, tomorrow will be a big test for him and as long as he defends soundly and provides a link into the attack to open up the spaces which he has more ability than anyone else in the squad to do then he will have done all he can.

Soz, couldn't see them on the mobile version!

Which is what he's done so well all tournament. Positioning, handling, defence, timing. Brilliant.

No probs, didn't realise you were on a mobile device. Didn't know how limited they are.

We are in agreement. Someone tell the moderators there is agreement on a thread!!!!

(Smiley Face with Sunglasses) - typed cos I know your on a mobile mate.

The comment that Sinfield has been annonymous just sounds like someone trying to defend their own club player by deflecting onto someone else.

I was not a fan of Sinfield being a half, pre-tournement and I was a fan of Chase being a half.

But from what I have seen, my opinions have been completely reversed. I'm not saying chase did not deserve a shot, but he's had several shots now and done nothing.

Personally I would have dropped him for the France game, but I think 30 minutes in the 2nd half of the game at the KC, may have saved him for another 80 minutes. But in the end he's done nothing.

The going home does seem a bit amateur dramatic. If he can't take being dropped, then it does not bode well for any future at international level. I hope Sinfield is right and he has taken it on the chin and is ready to work back into the team.

Sinfield has been getting pretty good scores from the Aussie press after each match, so it's nice to know I've not had a brain meltdown, completely on my own. If the aussie press can see he's been one of our best after laughing him off as world player of the year, then it shows he has turned the heads of a few people, not just England biased fans.

(Thumbs up smiley)

Now we're having fun!!

That big wide pitch at Wembley should give both Tomkins and Burrow a lot of space to make hay with

I love watching Burrow take on a line, I hate it when he takes a head shot for his invention.

The mark of a good attacking player for me is how they make you feel as an opposition fan. They get the ball and the 'Get hold of HIM!' shouts start and your foot starts going like it's jabbing for the brake pedal when the wife's driving. Burrow is one of those players and if he's used in a couple of late-half spells he's very effective. I can appreciate the calls for McIlorum too from having seen how the bloke leads from the front in crunch games but as a coach it must be hard to resist the temptation to include an unorthodox strike player like Burrow on your bench, I think I probably would given that it's a no brainer to start Roby anyway.

Apparently McIlorum is injured and has gone for treatment on his back according to McNamara, yet McIlorum has been on twitter supposedly and said he's been dropped.

Have you a link WFIII?

Is there any truth in the rumour that Chase "has gone home"?

Thats what came through on my phone today!!!!!

Where is home out of curiosity?

Hopefully New Zealand

Hope is in the UK.

Also you have to be careful not all Twitter accounts are real. As us Saints fans know from the fake Royce Simmons Account.

Although it was very amusing at the time. More amusing than some of the entertainment on the pitch.

Well I've heard he's 'gone home' to see his wife who is due to give birth at any moment.

So he hasn’t been dropped and he has gone home for personal reasons.

Let’s kill all the conspiracy theorists hey

on skysports it said he wasn't selected for this weeks game and he asked could he go home to be with his wife as their expecting this week, fair enough in my opinion.

Any early claims on the infants nationality?

Yep, fair enough. Some things in life are more important than rugby. Not many, but some.

Tongan, New Zealand or Australian apparently.

Perhaps that gives Rangi's kid four options for future World Cups: New Zealand (dad's birthplace), Tongan (mum's mum's birthplace), Australia (kid's adopted/migrated homeland) and English (kid's birthplace).

But if the kid is allowed to grow up in Australia he will qualify for State of Origin!

The kid is to be named Stanley, thus he will known as Stanley Chase. That way no one will ever confuse him with St George-Illawarra's utility back Chase Stanley.

I'd call him Willougby.

What about Chatswood? Doesn't Chatswood Chase have a certain aristocratic ring about it?

Team has been named:

Tomkins
Charnley
