[QUOTE="Greeno, post: 993812, member: 78533"] overall I agree with most of this squad but few changes and couple of additions. front row * I agree with the 9 players selected but I think he will take an extra prop who can cover both sides. My first selection for this addition would be Marler but if he is unavailable than Porter. lock: agree with all 5 players selected but again I think he will take an extra player which would free up Lawes and Henderson to play 6 for most likely mid week games if needed. So my first choice addition would be Kruis if unavailable than J Gray or Lanchberry who might get more chances with England if Kruis is unavailable. back row: I do think you have gone to heavy on 7’s. So with this is mind I would change leavy for Faletau * started all three test last tour and is well know to Gatland + Ritchie over Tipuric * for me the form 6 in the 6 nations and can cover 7. I just have doubts over Tipuric against a side like SA. For me Curry and Underhill are better suited with navidi/Ritchie filling in if needed. Scrum half: just the one change for and that would be Davies over Williams. Fly Half: agree with all 3 centre: for me I would go for Slade over Ringrose. Plus I would also go for another addition player here and that would be Joseph as he has tour experience and can can cover wing. A perfect mid week player to have in the squad. wing: Just the one Change for me and that would be Nowell over Stockdale. Again has tour experience and can cover a number of positions, like 7 Fullback: agree So in all a 41 men squad due the physicality of all the games on Tour to South Africa. Look forward to seeing what you and other people think of my squad. [/QUOTE]
