[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 987119, member: 13739"] Happy enough with that. Feel a little for Rob Evans who had a good cameo off the bench last week I thought, helping to sure up the scrum and a key offload in the build-up to Tompkins' try. I'm not against Rhys Carre, who could develop into a top player for us. Wyn Jones was disappointing, he's lucky to keep his place imo. Dillon Lewis is also a little lucky, because he did appear to be struggling scrum time v Italy. He was more involved in the loose than Jones though, with some good carries and key turnovers achieved. Shame that Hill is out injured, thought he was excellent during his time on the field last week. Beard needs to step-up after a disappointing WC. Great to see Tompkins start. I would have probably preferred to see McNicholl stay over North, but he was exposed a few times out wide v Italy, and we all know the impact North can have. He put in a great performance out of nowhere v Ireland a few years back for example. Bench looks good with Williams offering some good cover at 10/centre. Not the gamechanger Jarrod Evans is, but the weather doesn't look great which may have swayed the decision. Edit. Apparently WGJ picked up a shoulder injury playing for Sale. [/QUOTE]
