[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1175439, member: 82670"] He didn’t show an inability to perform at this level when he came on against Scotland (though he made several mistakes in that 45mins as well) I agree he does need more games at 10 but that’s because he’s only played a handful of games at 10, all his other pro experience is anywhere but 10. Most young 10s making their international debut have probably nearing 100 club games under their belt (how many did Marcus Smith have at Quins and I’ve seen him play for England and think is he international quality - I think he is for what it’s worth but you get my point) At the end of the day Gatland has picked who he’s picked and at the moment against Ireland it’s one of Costelow (if he’s fit) Lloyd or Evans. For me, I’m sticking with Lloyd and hope he’s a fast learner. [/QUOTE]
