Sam Burgess in England A? He's a shoe in for the full team IMO. Also think that if Shenton carries on this season as he has started it then he will make the top level too.

I agree I just couldn't think of anymore props

Hes Irish.... look at my first post, neither us Gleeson, neither is Harrison

He is about as Irish as Fa'asavalu is English but point taken.

Paul McShane instead.

Guys im not being funny but how on earth can you miss Tom Briscoe out, the kid needs to be in that team to push towards full international honours the year after.

He is a machine!!!!!!

Because every team now has 3 or 4 good kids and it's easy to over look 1

I agree though, he would have been in mine had I remembered.

interesting to see that the emphasis will be on giving the younger and academy players international experience. could be a an idea to enter the team in the European Cup. http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=398380&highlight=

can only really comment on my own team, but Tom Briscoe, Danny Houghton and Craig Hall aren't looking out of place at all in our first team at the moment.

I really don't see the point of an England 'A'. Some people are already moaning that the top players play too many games, why risk burning the younger ones out too in a meaningless tournament. If they're good enough to play international rugby stick them in the main test side.
