Was little more than a training match for England, bit disappointed with the spectacle. It’s tough getting some mid season opposition for us however so it is what is.Though I think we’re some way behind the Kangaroos and NZ currently I don’t think we should be failing to make the semis. There’s some quality from the NRL who may bolster Fiji, Samoa etc but not enough IMO
You know what you’re getting with Wane and it might not be pretty but the defence should be enough to see us passed everyone up to Tonga. The NRL contingent should change things up a bit for us, though admittedly they aren’t the likes of Sam Burgess, James Graham etc anymore. Farnworth will be a welcome asset for the 3/4s and we’ll get some decent options in for the pack. I’d support McIlorum staying in the side if Roby can’t be tempted back but would do away with McShane and look to Leeming as back up.
