[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 896567, member: 56738"] Well we saw Biggar (whether he was fit or not) in two games this championship and they were imo our two worst performances. I honestly think we should leave Biggar at home this summer and use Patchell for the 1st 60 mins of all three tests, with Anscombe coming on in the last 20. When all things are considered I just can’t see how Patchell isn’t the best long term option at 10 at the moment... and Anscombe is made for the finishing part of the game when lazy runners turn up in the line. I also think we should leave a couple of other ‘experienced’ heads at home when we tour to give some further experience to our future. AWJ, Warburton (even though he’s been out an entire season), Liam Williams & maybe a couple more should be left at home to foster the further development of Seb Davies & Hill, James Davies & Navidi, Stef & Adams. Decent tournament for Wales considering the position we found ourselves going into last autumns tests. We used to have loads of possession but looked as blunt as a butter knife, now we have little to no ball whatsoever yet look pretty deadly with the little ball we manage upon. With the depth we have developed, if we can rejig our breakdown to ensure a little more ball retention while continuing our attacking intentions, I think Wales could go well next year... good year to go well in too.
