Fox misses out on England call up... Ah well maybe next time

Talk of the devil...

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.

Ah Clown1953, glad to see you getting behind the national team, just the attitude to have to beat the Ockers.



For the record, good luck to Tom Briscoe, deserves his chance.

Not sure if he deserves his chance with missing so much of the season but no doubting his potential, I hope he goes well.

He has looked fairly solid in the last 2 internationals though, I also hope he goes well.

I have nothing against Tom but if anyone deserves their chance it's Foxy! He's had a great year, scored 18 tries and was picked in the Dream Team. A couple of below-par performances at the end of the season shouldn't cost an ever-present player his place in a rep side, in my opinion.

His confidence seemed to dip at the end and he has not shown up well for England either, you have to pick on form and he isn't. He played well in the first half of the season and some of the second. When on form, he is a top winger, but FWIW I agree that Tom Briscoe deserves to take his place at the weekend. If Briscoe flops on the big stage, then Fox will get a shot I am sure.



I don't care who plays, I just want to beat the buggers.

How strange....a thread about a Rovers player on the Rovers forum started by a Duller



Why dont you start one about Briscoe???....oh yeah cos he has been picked hasn't he

Those were, with all respect, sub-SL teams. This will be the big test - for S. Briscoe, Tomkins, Shenton etc too, not just T. Briscoe. We have to hope they all live up to the occasion.



Perhaps for once we can all agree that it would be good to see Briscoe win the match for the team red and white?!

No Cooke or Wheeldon then?
