For the france game.....for me we need to do what the union did a few years back and start building the team for the next world cup imo - look what we will want to play then and stick them in now and start developing.  
 
For me I would go with;
 
1. Smith or Briscoe 
2. Owen 
3. Shenton 
4. R. Hall 
5. Ainscough 
6. Myler 
7. S Tompkins 
8. Graham 
9. Roby 
10. S. Burgess 
11. Ablett 
12. J. Tompkins 
13. Westerman 
------------------------ 
14. McCarthy Scarsbrook 
15. McIllurum 
16. Eastmond 
17. Prescott
 
For me that would easily have the beating of france. Lets get them in now, give them the experience and then use this as the basis of our sqaud for NZ and Aus, adding a bit of extra experience with say Peacock, Yeaman, Gleeson, O'Loughlin, Hock, McGuire, Burrow, Wilkin to make up the 25 for the 4 nations, which should make us competitive enough to at least get a couple of wins in the autumn and then build from there.  
 
We'll only be good enough in the next WC if the players that form the basis of the squad start playing now IMO. |  |

 JJB

 Think there is a great mix of youth and experiance but no real old heads. Great attacking flair in there aswell as aggresion.

Also not many people seem interested in seeing Danny Brough making the england team after he switched....

 It's too far away...and it's another "unnecessary"game....and it's not a big enough event to inspire him...
 ...and he might play like he did in the world cup!
