All over Twitter as I type, he approached McNamara.

Exiles man of the match...

Can hardly believe it! The RFL are really starting to follow in the footsteps of cricket and union now. Let's just hope that while searching the globe desperatley for players McNamara won't forget some of the talented young players in Super league.

I give up.

He's played against England twice!!

Jonny Lomax will be very pleased

oh please. Stop it. It's embarassing

WTF

All a bit embarassing but it happens in every sport. Easily our best option at half-back.

just watched the video of him on the RFL site..

seems committed and has'nt played for NZ (the maoris are'nt a national team)....he'll do for me...hardlines NZ lol

The supposed plus points about McNamarra for England was that he'd encourage young English talent.

If he had his way Cherry - Evans & Chase would be half backs

Don't think I'll bother going to any of the 4 nations matches if we put non English players in the team. Ridiculous

Exactly what I've just said to one of my mates, it' an absolute joke!! how the hell does this help the British game?

Brilliant.

1 - Tomkins
6 - Chase
7 - Lomax

Awesomeness. We might beat Wales now.

I don't agree with Chase playing for England but ATEOTD a strong International game is imperative for English Rugby League. If, in the short term we play "none English players" but, in the long term, that gets more young English people playing the game then it's a good thing. English cricket is starting to pick up again, whose at the forefront of that? Pietersen, Strauss, Kieswetter, Morgan. England Rugby Union have players like Hape playing for them. We NEED a strong England team.

Is he good enough to play international rl?

Genuinely thought this was a wind up!

Not sure as he hasn't had the chance. English though.

I am beyond stunned...

Does this mean there will be two players in England shirts that the English fans will boo now?

If he wants to make his career here, live here, stay here, play for England, he's English.

When did he qualify to play? Was it before he played against us for the Exiles? How English was he feeling that afternoon?

I'm fine with it. If he's committed to playing for England and not just bummed that he didn't get the call from NZ that is.

But he seems settled at Cas and it will unquestionably improve the team. Who will play 7? Brough is in terrible form and doesn't deserve a shirt.

It's just mad that at a time when we actually have a few options at half back and good young ones at that the England set-up go after 2 O/S players!

If Chase must play he'll be shifted to 7, Widdop at 6.
