[QUOTE="Ospreylian, post: 786928, member: 59055"] You say my "Welshness" is shining through, but only 5 of my starting XV at the moment would be Welsh; the likes of Faletau and North would be very much up for debate because of competition, and at the moment I would be verging on Vunipola over Faletau and Watson over North, which would make it 5 Englishmen too by the way, so perhaps reconsider your accusations of bias, eh? I'll defend Rob Evans on the bench as he has been a real find for Wales and has given our scrum much-needed stability. He has been one of Wales' most underrated players this tournament. Tipuric over Warbs any day of the week these days, as much as I love Warbs he just hasn't been on top form. Wales miss Charteris immensely when he is unavailable, and this was very much the case against France, where France dominated the mauls. Had Charteris been there that really wouldn't have been the case and perhaps the opposite. He also is one of the underrated players. I can see a case for Nel over Lee at the moment. Seymour easily deserves one of the starting wing spots based on this tournament, he has been one of Scotland's best players and probably the most intelligent winger in the tournament. I'd say Nowell is far more inconsistent than Seymour tbh, I still don't get what Nowell provides other than speed. I saw a good bit of analysis of Russell on Scrum V and having seen him so far he seems to have a great vision for what's in front of him. I haven't been impressed with Sexton for a good long while *cue a swarm of Irish fans ready to tear me apart* [/QUOTE]
