[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 365621, member: 13739"] He's obviously a blow, but one we can deal with. He'll of course be impossible to replace in the loose, but Paul James will probably come in and do a better job at scrum. James has probably been one of the most improved players in Wales over the past two years, his loose work is slowly improving to go along with his scrummaging abilities. For a long time, I thought he was a useless tw*t, along with Cai Griffiths, but he's really changed my opinion of him. Hell even Cai Griffiths came on on the weekend and didn't go backwards in the scrum! Duncan Jones is also getting back to some form, it'll be nice to have such an experienced player to call upon. Iestyn Thomas is always available aswell, but I don't think Gatland should or will include someone of his age into his Welsh squad for the first time. In the long run, I think this will be a good thing. Gethin Jenkins has been picking up injury after injury recently, nothing majour, but injuries nonetheless. I don't think he's been fully fit for a while, and this lay-off should hopefully see him re-energised and fully fit for the WC. Look at what Adam Jones' layoff did to him, he's stepped up another gear since returning. [/QUOTE]
