For our players....

England:

Bridge at left centre
Myler at half-back
Westwood at second-row
Morley on bench
Carvell on bench

Exiles:

Hodgson at full-back
King at centre
Anderson on bench

So, Atkins misses out for England. The rest of our players have been selected in the final teams.

good to see our boys rewarded for their efforts

Who to be cheering on.. that's the question?

I'm going Exiles due to my hate for Sam Tomkins and Steve McNamara

I'm going exiles,as I think the idea is good and there should be a heated contest. Hopefully Exiles will show our frailties now, so we don't have them shown to us by AUS or NZ.

Although the execution is embarrassing. Timing and the team McBanana has picked are cringeworthy.

Rumours of a sub 5,000 crowd as well.

Can someone post the full teams? Too busy at work to be searching around! (Plus filters ban me from getting on most sport sites!)

Best bit about going to the internationals is you can't help but find yourself ripping into every player apart from the Wire lot


I don't care who wins though, as long as it's a good spectacle and benefits England in the long term! Plus I get my 19 quids worth!!

still amazed at no M. Monaghan and no Hoffman.

Monoghan would be a waste off the bench because Buderus is captain. And Wigan already have 3 in there who are better than Hoffman.

Not surprising. Hard times, game televised live and very uninspiring England performances make it an easy decision for a lot of fans.

I think England will get destroyed! Just hoping for no injuries to our boys who are playing!

Wonder who will be taking the kicks for the exiles, two of the best in there team.

in your dreams.

Huh?

It really didn't need explaining.

Looks like it did.

Can't believe they have Soliola and Manu starting at second row. Anderson and Fa'alogo are better players.

Not seen Soliola have a good game yet but I do like Manu. Wouldn't mind him at Warrington.

England - Exiles
Better player underlined.

1 - S.Tomkins - [uHodgson[/u (both good in attack but hodgson better defender)
2 - [uHall[/u - Meli
3 - Shenton - [uKing [/u
4 - [uBridge[/u - Carmont
5 - Briscoe - [uRichards[/u
6 - Sinfield - [uChase[/u( Sinfield out of form and expect Chase to do well behind a good pack)
7 - Myler - [uT Leuluai[/u
8 - [uPeacock[/u - Puletua
9 - Robinson - [uBuderus[/u
10 - [uGraham[/u - O'Meley
11 - [uWilkin[/u - Soliola
12 - [uWestwood[/u - Manu
13 - O'Loughlin - Fitzgibbon( Both very different types of player)

Sinfield is turd at 6, simple. He's a 13, either drop him or Lockers. We are trying to fit our best players all on the pitch at the same time, even though the 2 mentioned here play the same position. If anything I think Lockers is a better 6 than Sinfield and Sinfield for me offers more in attack as a 13 than O'Loughlin. I'd play Sinfield at 13 with Lomax at 6, Lockers to bench and JTomkins out altogether, useless penalty machine!

4 nations Widdop and Brough to come in at 6&7.

No he isn't.

Just because STomkins is Wigan's only form of attack, does not make him a better fullback.

Now stop trolling.

Instant troll catch

nice one



Shame there is no 'Failed to pass when faced with clear overlap' Stat.

Stomkins would top that one !

I was comparing Sam Tomkins and Hodgsons defence, which WersYourMylerGone stated that Hodgsons was better, and clearly it isn't.
