I didn't support Mauri fauvawhatsisname when he played for England and I don't want Chase or any of the other Aussies playing, just because of some grandad rule. Widdop is different. He is English. It would be a very hollow victory if we won it with him, because it would just prove that we can't win it without their rejects.

Put Tomkins back at 6.

Can't disagree with that.

http://www.code13rugbyleague.com/2011/1 ... r-england/ Apparently it was a 'Duty of Care' according to Fatnamara “When a player of Rangi’s undoubted ability approaches you, and I think by the awards he’s received this season no one will doubt his ability, and within the rules he’s available to play, and after investigation and looking at the reasons fully as to why Rangi wants to commit to England, what his reasons are for, then they’re very powerful reasons when you sit down and speak to him,” Translated Fatnamara had this to say to the media. "Rangi got in touch because he saw a way to help with any future Visa issues he may have and fair play to him. He knows you can't look as dumb as I do, without being gullible and lets face I can't coach England to beat a team of predominantly ageing (Internationally Retired or never selected) exiles."

I also felt quite sick listening to the idiot on Talk Sport this afternoon, seems like every International sport is embracing outsiders that have lived in the country for 2 minutes.

The thing is chase is virtually guaranteed to play scrum half for England i think as his form is better than DB and he has better skills than Lomax which is a shame. I dont think he should be in the squad.

Give me lomax any day.

All Sinfield has ever done for England is well NOTHING.

100% right dont rate him never will, but to be fair he is hell of a kicker.

Re: Chase for England. : Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:37 am  

Totally agree lads..England have the chance to mould Widdop amd Lomax into a partnership for next 10 years... Bit like the Thurston/Lockyer combo for Aus, but instead the look to foreign imports...Laughable
