Tomkins and Eastmond is your best bet i reckon fom what i have seen.
But your running into a red hot Kiwi's team with arguably the best forward in the game Adam Blair and by far the best 6 Benji ( who IMO is in the top 3 players in the world).

Plus Eastmond and Tomkins are both 20, they are the future of English Rugby League for the next 10 years so I think it's time to put them in and stick with it. We've had 3 different half-back combinations in this tournament which is just ridiculous.
Sinfield isn't a great #13 IMO, i'd have preferred O'Loughlin there but he's injured, plus Sinfield is our only real goal-kicker. Although when Sinfield moved to 9 against Australia he played pretty well and our half backs actually got the ball in their hands, unlike when James fucking Roby plays at 9 who can't string a pass together to anybody. I prefer Roby as an impact-hooker off the bench, not a starting hooker... very overrated.
I don't expect to beat the Kiwis, I just hope we don't shit our pants in the first 20 minutes and lose the game before half time
