Well that's mine anyway, I think it's looking like Geth and Mathew won't be ready for this weekend so we'll have to field a weakened front row (again..) but tweaking otherwhere. I think Delve deserves a shot, and it's Hensons time to put up or shut up. Our first choice back 3 get a run out together too.

Looks like a solid team to me, good bench also.....

Sounds good, would give knoyle the start at nine, he looks our best option.

Wouldnt consider Sam Warburton and Jamie Roberts as i think we already know what they bring and id hate to see them injured, i think with Stoddart being injured we need to take a look at another winger so Brew needs to be looked at.

I thought about that also, however Shane is going for the world record try score, and George is still young and needs to learn and George has far more potential than Brew to be honest.

Shane hasnt played much Rugby and looked rusty so id give him more game time, i agree that North has more potential than Brew but the whole point of these matches is to look at your squad and work out your best 30 and with Stoddart getting injured it looks likely that Brew is on the plane to New Zealand so we need to play him and give him a chance to prove he is good enough.

I Thomas.........if only.

I dont think Brew is really needed unless Halfpenny is definitely out. He is a solid winger and a physical presence, but not a skilful player, and only adapt at playing one position.

I don't think he has anything new to show us and I would keep him at the periphery rather than the centre of my thoughts if i were Gatland.

ML Loosehead of the year, was superb for the Baa Baas against Wales destroyed his opposite number, was there passing for the BaaBaas try, some awesome tackles which he had no right to do................. and Mr Gatland doesn't pick him

Beggars belief

I can't suss it out either, looks like Gatland made his mind up a long time ago Iestyn isn't good enough and that's that, shame for him really as he's coming towards the end of his career.
