[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1038896, member: 82670"] I don’t think history is as important as form to be honest. It’s important but not as important as how well you’ve been playing at international level recently. Is it possible that people just see Wyn Jones as the best all round option at the moment? He has been a pretty consistent performer since the WC semi against SA, was arguably the top performing LH in the 6N, scrummages well, gets over the ball well and is generally in decent form. Is that so hard to believe? I don’t think that constitutes a “cult”. I definitely don’t think he’s nailed on but probably the front runner at the moment. But other then TH and 8 I think most positions are up for grabs and I wouldn’t be gobsmacked to see either Mako or Sutherland play their way into the test team. Also, it wasn’t for the majority of the Scotland game as Fagersons red came in the 2nd half and if I recall correctly took off a back and left themselves short there rather than in the pack. Might be remembering that wrong though. [/QUOTE]
