What is the thinking of sinfield at 7, that one has lost me completely

Thoughts ?

He generally plays first receiver anyway despite wearing 6 on his back.

He's the worlds best player. im surprised Sir Kev isnt playing EVERY position

Remember when wiggy and baldy were saying that Sinfield could play at hooker in the world cup?

My thought is that this selection better not be a sign of our selection for the World Cup proper.

I reckon he's trying to get a better look at the fringe players and we'll end up with:

1. Tomkins
2. Charnley
3. Watkins
4. Cudjoe/Ablett
5. Hall
6. Widdop
7. Sinfield/Chase
8. Graham
9. McIlorum
10. G.Burgess
11. Westwood
12. S.Burgess
13. O'Loughlin

14. Hill
15. Roby/Burrow
16. Mossop
17. Farrell/Hock

Hope we get something like this. Wouldn't start George Burgess though and Sam has been playing prop/loose forward all season so hope we see him there. Fingers crossed Widdop's full recovered from his injury as it sounded bad and I'd much rather have him than Chase.

I think from the squad available:

Tomkins
Charnley
Watkins
Cudjoe
Hall
Widdop
Sinfield
Graham
McIlorum
Mossop
S Burgess
Westwood
O'Loughlin

G Burgess
Hill
Hock
Roby

I think he'll start Chase and Roby though, probably with Widdop on the bench.

I was looking at the squad and for me Briscoe and Burrow are complete waste of squad places. I think another specialist centre and Ratchford to offer more utility would have produced a much rounded squad with plenty of cover in key positions.

Is sinfield there for his goal kicking only ?

Crazy if you think Roby won't be starting at 9

Hill and Graham will be the starting props I think.

Mossop and graham are starting hill from the bench

Is Eieplaying ? I don't speak the lingo

14 - 10 to France at half time.

Now 16 - 14 to USA

Final Score France 18 - USA 22

Didn't see that coming.

Go Tomahawks! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Did they draft in Ben Ainslie?

From the picture it was difficult to identify the players and the commentary was in French (no not Ray). At the death the USA had a player sin binned who might well have been Pettybourne but I could not be sure. The pitch was dry so I doubt Ben Ainslie would have been much use.

Isn't that result the equivalent of an Aussie Pub team beating a Top 8 Super League club?

USA for the semi finals.

Manufacturing publicity over the pond.

I haven't watched this match, but have you seen USARL on that well known tubing site?

Not good!

I watched the second half and was quite impressed with the standard displayed by the Yanks. Mind you I don't think many of them played their rugby in the States. Probably qualified under such basis as their grandmother was an extra in the film South Pacific or such like.

Is there going to be any more of these streams for other matches?
