[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 861695, member: 39240"] Exactly my point. Like whatever on originals like Haskell and Laidlaw. They are original squad members (albeit late call ups but before departure). But to pick 6 lads and then not have the guts to back your decision and use them. But more importantly put the rest of playing team at risk was a huge flaw in my eyes. It was always predetermined to bring those extra guys in and it was always with the view of getting them a bit of playing time and exposure to training at a higher level but with the view of benefitting Welsh rugby over next few years. If it was always predetermined then why not ring Schmidt/Jones/Townsend and agree something. Eg Lock Gats To EJ - Loook can you bring cover at lock. I plan on maybe calling Launchbury over after the 1st test with Argentina so you may be missing him for 2nd test. Eddie would've been delighted as a) he get a player on to Lions and b) gives England a chance to try an alternative. [/QUOTE]
