[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1037440, member: 74895"] Gatland does have a history of pointing to one specific game to justify certain players being excluded . He did it in 2017 when Scotland beat Ireland & Wales comfortably at Murrayfield but then got pumped at Twickenham in the last game in what admittedly was a poor showing defensively but they also suffered badly from injuries that day with Ali Price ending up on the wing. I'd have had Ryan in ahead of both Hill and AWJ as I believe he could be a huge weapon in the lineout and think he would thrive in the heat of battle. He was a beast in the lineout against Scotland in this year's 6N. I still hope POC will join as lineout coach. I sense there is a big admiration from Gatland on the way Exeter play and we could see some Exeter-esque moves on the cards with Simmonds, LCD and Hill in the squad on top of Warrenball. [/QUOTE]
