I also think Che Hope should’ve got a crack as our 3rd choice 9 over RMW.

I dont think hes ready, also i was surprised to see he was 23 already, i thought he was 19/20.

Wales rugby crisis: Ospreys told of interest in Cardiff deal as players walk out of meeting

Ospreys head coach Mark Jones says the squad have been told their owners Y11 Sport & Media are in talks to buy rivals Cardiff.

Players walking out of meeting, tweeting, and apparrntly Mark Jones missus showed him the news of what was happening from a media story, imagine that, getting home and the wife asks what your going to do, and you reply with 'about what?'

Not saying all these should be included, but thought I'd list some of the form regional players over the past few months who have missed out:

Dragons
Olly Burrows
Brodie Coughlan
Ryan Woodman
Che Hope
Rio Dyer
Angus O'Brien

Cardiff
Danny Southworth
Alun Lawrence
Callum Sheedy
Tom Bowen
Jacob Beetham (debatable)

Ospreys
Lewis Lloyd
Rhys Davies
James Fender
Morgan Morse
Ross Moriarty
Keelan Giles

Scarlets
None as far as I can think of. Odd they've got such a large contingent based on their performances and results!

Hamer-Webb getting the nod over Rio Dyer is still baffling me. Dyer has hit form again and is tried at tested at international level. Genuinely crazy. Che Hope also very unlucky as he’s been excellent.

Sheedy has been blowing hot and cold, but agree he could have been in a squad that needs experienced 10s.

Its baffling. A very slight purple patch at Cardiff, and has sat on the bench at Leicester (i personally waved him out the door).

Dyers looking ok, a lot of his scores are run ins though, but watching Grady, Mee, Murray, and Rogers butcher similar finishes in recent months youve got to give him credit.
I like Dyer, hes limited, but hes just quick enough, just tough enough, just agile enough and just quality enough to play at every level, he took a while to settle to international rugby but he got there, and has performed well there at times, which is more that can be said of anyone else on that list.

GHW was really good in the champions cup games, but I think that's the first time I've seen him play for Leicester - I'm surprised he got the callup too

Little surprised that Jac Davies didn't get the nod - I know he's only played a handful of games but he was Scarlets best player vs Saints, and one of the best on the pitch, really looked very good - and Wales usually like capping players really really early

We got to before the big white monster over the bridge smells talent...

I thinkk that was GHWs only top appearance isnt it, hes had a few benchs and a prem cup start?

Havnt seen enough of Jac Davies, he doesnt look quick enough to me, and struggles with positioning. Im not sure but i think hes a wing convert, maybe Exile knows more about him

I don't think Jac Davies is a wing convert, been playing SRC for a few years now, and for me he looks like a bit of an old school fullback which I quite like. Solid, good all round game. Not seen much issues with his positioning personally, been very impressed with him when he's played this season.

Needs more time to prove himself before considering Wales, but when a lot of the other options have glaring weaknesses, he could offer just what we need.
