I'd bin off Daly (any of IFW/Muir/Roebuck to start) and put Furbank on the bench, also swap Smith/Ford around, but other than that probably the same
Didn't like the backrow last week but feel like that was probably tactics rather than personnel seeing as Earl and Underhill are both very good at the breakdown
I'm guessing M Smith is out again this week or I'd maybe start him over Ford.
I'd go the same, but swapping Smith and Ford, Daly for anyone and CCS for Dombrandt on the bench
I'm still yet to be convinced CCS is ready for this level tbh, he's not going to change a game from the bench IMO, but Dombrandt mightWould be extremely disappointed by that.
CCS impressed in his cameo and deserves the chance to build on that. If not against Wal then who? The definite future and can play 6 / 8.
Dombrandt's just going to have to be patient. And there's no M Smith around which also weakens the case for him.
Dombrandt's the better footballer. Not saying he's a luxury player, but Borthwick's unquestionably looking to power up the pack and that's much more CCS's game.
Yeah, I feel like I missed something with his performance the way the press and social media are waxing lyrical about itI'm still yet to be convinced CCS is ready for this level tbh, he's not going to change a game from the bench IMO, but Dombrandt might
I've never seen the British Press ever do anything like that for any player... of any sport...just setting him up for failure if he doesn't reach these heights they've already decided he's at

Don't get me wrong - he looked energetic and did as well as you'd want from a 20yr old debutant, but 2 carries (one knocked on) and 5 tackles (one missed) isn't worthy of the praise he's been getting
I'd keep him in the side this week (for me Dombrandt starts or isn't in the side) but a lot of people are acting like CCS was a standout in the side - just setting him up for failure if he doesn't reach these heights they've already decided he's at
There wont be any changes.
If the report above is true then the team needs consistency of selection to get to grips with them...i think the only changes that would force a change is if Manu or Lawrence was available.
Tomkins?Does the turncoat make the matchday 23
Think Henry Thomas is ineligible for Wales as he's signed for CastresDoes the turncoat make the matchday 23?
Errrr, his name is Thomas, mate. It ends in an S so is about as Welsh as you get.Think Henry Thomas is ineligible for Wales as he's signed for Castres
