i have put the ones in bold who i don't think should be in the team , as well as i don't think are good enough to get into the team , i know it is only a warm up game but surely he should be trying to get the strongest possible team out onto the pitch to begin to gel together .

How have I missed this, Ben Westwood?

Jesus Christ, could they not find anyone else? That guy is barely good enough for a 2nd rate England squad, never mind GB.

I appreciate he may not start in any of the tests, but come on, put him up against the 2nd rows from Australia or New Zealand, come on!

Aye up Steady, he's a Normy Lad you know and a mate of mine and I think he fully deserves his call up.
Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits.

No Steady Iam not, any player that has come through the ranks of my club Normanton Knights gets my full backing.

That is as maybe mate, but from an impartial point of view, do you really feel he has done enough to be considered GB class?
