Cheers LXIII, now edited in.
Sun Down, I'm really stuck about who would be the best realistic scrum half for GB, and everyone's got an opinion. Sean Long is the incumbent and would be a low-risk option, but has also failed to ever really spark against the Aussies over the years?
I beginning to think it's time for more of a risk. I think they'll abpid picking Deacon (for similar reasons to Long), and I'm not sure Harris is a certainty on this year's form (though will probably come close to being picked due to "Bradford ties"?).
Richard Horne would bring a kicking game and good skills, but Rob Burrow and Danny McGuire have to well be in contention. If we assume 13. Sculthrope and 6. Sinfield, then a Leeds halves combo might give that extra edge? Covers kicking and a bit of a spark at first receiver?
