[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1206953, member: 86934"] Yep, we have issues all over the park except for back row and 9 lol let's be honest they are our only lions contenders. For the record Thomas has been superb this season, against Newxastle he or Watkin would have been my MOTM, they were head and shoulders above. Hooker is massive, Dee starts by default, Elias prob make the squad, and one of Lloyd or Daniel as bench. Lloyd is he'll of an athlete. We won't see both at lock, Rowlands club form is still good, he just doesn't bring it to a beaten pack for us. Rowlands and Jenkins probably start, I'd agree William's on the bench. No chance in he'll Wainright doesn't start, he and Tomos have been our best players in red for 3 seasons, he starts regardless of who's fit, but my be at 6 if we want to rush Falatau in. Against France I'd go with Wainright at 8, Reffell and Morgan either side. Tomos starts at 9, Bevannon the bench for his physicality, and delivery. RMW is way off yet. Anscombe will start if fit, there's no other option. Costello is injured, Lloyd, Thomas, Owen William's are all poor options, I think we might see Edward's on the bench. Llewellyns playing well, but he mixes centre and wing for Glos, we may see him out wide as a safer option, Watkins has been ospreys best player this season, he and Thomas as a 2nd ball player. Adam's makes the squad by default, but the first team? Ye maybe, that's sad to say, he's nowhere near sharp. Roger's or Dyer the other wing. I don't think Dyer has gone backwards, I just think he's now playing in 2 bad teams, beaten up every week instead of 1, and now we only see him in positions of weakness. He's still lightening quick. Sadly Winnet will play FB, the man(?) With the worst win % in world rugby, only ever winning 1 U20 game, and 3 pro games in 25 odd attempts. Not that it's his fault, he just isn't big enough yet. I think if we play a solid 15, and a decent game plan we win 1 or maybe 2 games, however our huge issue (outside of front row) is our bench options. There's literally nothing on the bench to change a game, and everything is a lesser. Dillon Lewis, Lloyd, William's, Bevan, Lloyd, James, any of the back 3 will offer losing options. [/QUOTE]
