[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 894652, member: 74084"] I knew Parkes was a good player but I can't believe how well he has done in the step up from test rugby. From the 1st minute he hasn't looked out of place, it's just a shame he is 30 and not 25. Steff Evans I believe is still a work in progress, defence has improved but he often runs sideways away from support and kicks too often instead of taking the ball into contact. I wouldn't mind seeing him being given a rest next week and Adams getting another chance or maybe Amos. Anscombe did well enough to claim a bench sport for the future, despite the missed kick to touch Patchell does bring something extra over the others. Bradley Davies did well but we all know he can play at this level, I would have rather given Seb Davies 60 minutes, and I know he scored a try but I'm still unsure of Hill at this level. I don't understand the point of having Rhodri Jones cover tight head, we all know he can't play it so would rather Dillon Lewis got 10 minutes than a player who is probably never going to pay again for Wales (as a tight head anyway). For next week I would bring most of the pack back, Faleteau definitely keeps his place, 7 is the place I'm not sure about. Dropping Navadi would be harsh but Tipruic does look class every time plays. Patchell has to start for me and you want to give him as much time as possible before the world cup next year, Scott Williams hasn't looked his best so far so I would keep Watkins. Liam Williams really looks like he's struggling for form while Halfpenny seems to have found some attacking threat from somewhere so he would get the nod at 15. North is showing enough to deserve a starting place. It would be harsh on Evans to drop him but too many moves break down with him, I would love to see Amos given a run. my team for France: Halfpenny, North, Watkins, Parkes, Amos, Patchell, G Davies, R Evans, Owens, Lee, Jones, Hill, Shingler, Tipruic, Faleteau Subs: Dee, Smith, francis, S Davies, Navadi, T Williams, Anscombe, L Williams [/QUOTE]
