I will go with that ,come on England, not bothered whether its T or s Briscoe who scores the winner.

If by some miracle we manage to beat the Aussies, I for one won't give a damn how we do it or who does the business.

| Well done TS, great decision, we all know Fox would be cannon fodder for the Aussies.

| I think the main reason behind picking Briscoe is helping to halt Inglis with his contact in the tackle as he'll be defending that side of the pitch with Smith. Briscoe will have to up his work rate significantly though in terms of taking work off the forwards.
The position has been lost by Fox rather than won by Briscoe and I think this serves as a harsh reminder to Fox that he needs to stop having poor performances.
I think he'll get a crack against the Kiwis and lets hope he shows his best form which is why he made the dream team this year.

| Quote rover49="rover49"He hasn't done enough to get in, simple as that. His form has dipped in the last few games of the regular season and play offs, I think he was fortunate to get in the squad on the form he was in.
Young Briscoe deserves hit chance.'"
Spot on.

Don't disagree. But don't you think it's a shame Fox's form has dipped?

I do for Englands sake yes. If he hadnt have had a terrible last 6 weeks of the season he would have probably still been in the side before Briscoe. At the same time im more than happy with Briscoe's contribution.
I think your previous comment about him needing to do more work is a little bit harsh. His metres from scooting is a real strength of his, in the previous internationals ive seen him go in to try and do it and be pushed back out to the wing by people like scott moore. Briscoe is looking for the work imo but isnt being allowed to do it.
Still, lets see how he goes on Saturday.

Despite Fox's poor performance he still made more than twice as many yards as Briscoe and has a far higher work rate and is far quicker out of dummy-half.
Many would disagree but I'd have played Tom Briscoe in the centre opposite Inglis specifically to try and nullify Inglis's threat because I think if you stop Inglis, the forwards my pummel the Aussies up the middle.
Good luck to Tom Briscoe though, I'm just pleased that we all won't have to be subjected to the likes of Wellens, Gardner & Sykes in the back 5
