So good they made a film.

Took his tries brilliantly. HAS to be picked next week now

Yep, well played

(choke)

Barista is quiet

, not many Hull Fc fans on here tonight ????

, well done Foxy a great confidence booster, well done son.


FEED THE FOX

Well done Foxy lad, that should keep the knockers quiet. Great england performance.

Decent performance from Fox, but some are going a tad OTT.

As OTT as the Hull fans predicting he would be a disaster?

What are you having with that humble pie, custard ?

Yes. And I wasn't one of those predicting that he'd fail, either.

Thought he had a pretty solid game overall. Made a mistake that lead to NZ's first try but didn't let that get to him and was defensively sound for the rest of the game.

Took his two tries well, although I reckon most wingers in SL would have scored them. Certainly did enough to retain his place for next week.

If you can find a single post of mine where I criticised the selection of Fox or suggested that he'd be a failure you might have a point.

But you can't. In fact I defended him on one thread on our board.

i thought fox did well.maybe getting dropped was the kick up the jacksie he needed.he was left 2 on 1 for their 1st try(no sliding defence,just like t briscoe was last week) n gets no blame from me.dont care who any of our players play for domestically as long as they give their all for england n great britain.
roll on next week.

Well played Fox. He was at fault for the first try but recovered and took both his trys well. Solid performance - will get picked next week against the Aussies which is the REAL test



BTW didn't see him come out and publicly support Tom Briscoe when he was bypassed for the French game. We now know which player has the most class, at least.

Has to be the same 17 next week for me.

And your point is?

Hmm, I think Wilkin will be dropped next week. Other then that spot on, has to be the same 17

I'd bring Carvell in for Wilkin.

Was Wilkin playing ??

Exactly. Think he came on with 20 ish minutes to go

I would stick another prop in there really try and smash the aussies into the ground, rather then have an interchange back row

I'd agree. Quite surprised that Carvell hasn't been given a shot already TBH.

Fox did well to recover from his early error when NZ scored. Took his tries well although they were fairly simple and took the one high ball he had too.

He needs to defend better next week against the aussies though.

He didn't come out and publically say anything,Maybe he wasn't asked to comment about the selection of the French game


But he DID show his support to Tom, so stop nit picking



During their time in the England squad, Fox and Briscoe have developed a good friendship and in disappointing times, one has been there for the other.

"I feel sorry for Tom in this disappointing time," said Fox.

"Tom will bounce back from this.

"There's been no bitterness between us and we've helped each other out.

"I've been there to offer him advice before games and I expect him to offer me some before this game.

Well done Peter you had a good game and took your tries well.

Apart from their first try, which he held his hand up to, I don't think his defence was bad. NZ didn't attack solely down his wing, as some said they would.
The whole England team played a lot better than last week, they looked like a team instead of individuals.

Well done Foxy
