[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 300066"] Some good performances this weekend. The 6 shirt is suddenly very open again. I thought Powell was superb today against Harlequins, very powerful taking the ball forward, but also showed those quick feet we know he has. His dicipline has also improved also. Warberton hasn't featured in the last few games for the Blues (is he injured), so doubt we'll see him start v England. It's between JT and Powell. I'd personally start JT, but Gatland likes Powell. The centres have been a talking point all along, but all of a sudden we have four all performing well. Hook and Bishop combined well for the O's, and I thought Bishop was outstanding in defense. Then there's Roberts, who suddenly had a smile back on his face, and played very well. Then Jonathan Davies was also good v Brive. I'd start the following: 01 Gethin Jenkins 02 Mathew Rees 03 Adam Jones 04 Alun-Wyn Jones 05 Ian Gough 06 Jonathan Thomas 07 Martyn Williams 08 Ryan Jones 09 Richie Rees 10 Stephen Jones 11 Shane Williams 12 Jamie Roberts 13 James Hook 14 Tom James 15 Lee Burne 16 Gareth Williams 17 Eifion-Lewis Roberts 18 Sam Warberton 19 Andy Powell 20 Martin Roberts 21 Dan Biggar 22 Andrew Bishop No need for second row cover on the bench with JT able to move up. Warberton there to cover openside, and Powell to provide impact. James Hook will be full-back cover, therefore we need fly-half and centre cover on the bench. Cooper doesn't deserve to be there, wheather he has experience or not. [/QUOTE]
