Well, I've gone from trying to wangle my diary so that I could attend at Wembley plus another Test somewhere else to thinking I might not even bother watching it on the telly.

No Brough, Mossop, Atkins, Robinson,

Bailey over Mossop is a ridiculous selection, in fact Bailey anywhere near an international is just laughable.

McIllorum over Robinson, Burrow, Brough even Myler

No problem with Ablett as he's had a good season but too early for BJB who shouldn't be in over McGillvery.

JJB?

Wilkin and Sinfield, while very good domestic players, have never shown up at international level.

Then we've got the Chase, Heighington, Reed fiasco!

Having a good day Clan?

Oz will murder us again the squad is a joke decided that I was not watching once we named Chase its a bloody farce

I feel pretty much the same way - I'll probably watch it on telly, but I'm mostly indifferent to the results.

Must admit I couldn't care less anymore about international rugby and that 'rest of the world' side. Thanks to the Chase, Heighington, etc fiasco my RL watching season is over.

There will be the enjoyment of watching the Aussies rip the "England" team to shreads.

COME ON YOU KIWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMASH ENGLAND I'd like to see Fatnamara's face then

I'm not, I want Kiwi's to smash OZ

Fact that Bailey is in there is ridiculous...

Will be good to see him get smashed although if he gets anywhere near starting 17 then jeez

Chase and Heighington what a joke, surly your national squad should be trained in your own country or at least by birth. How does it look to young lads coming into the game? What’s point in even bothering, nearly all Anglo Saxon Aussies would qualify to play for any of the home nations due to Grand Parentage! May as well just go on a scouting mission to Oz. Internationals are just like turning into another version of the club game.

Whats the score with Danny Brough? How can he be over looked?

McNamara had no credibility when appointed and is rapidly confirming that to all and sundry,only issue I can see is who the hell do we appoint next, and will they have the guts to undo the despair that McNamara seems to inspire in everyone with regards to our international side ?
