Still hope for Wales?

Post by UKHamlet »

An interesting take. I watch this Vlog a lot - he talks sense.

Sensible options there.

I’d forgotten about Grady and for me he is either a wing or on the bench for impact. I do fear he might be defensively exposed but Rodger’s has the same problem.

Agree at FB with Beatham. Worth a go although I do quite like Mee.

Using both Scwrlets centres has some obvious benefits and James looks tidy when fit. It changes our game play a bit having less of a footballing IC but might be worth a look given the risk of the last two incumbents resembling a revolving door at times. Not sure I can blame Hawkins too much against the Bokke given the lasting we got 1-15.

I’d love to see Faletau back, but I think realistically our starting front row includes wainwright and Cracknell, possibly Morgan if he recovers.

I think Llewellyn was pretty effective - we missed him in the last match. For real bulk, pair him with James at 12. There is still definitely a question mark over Hawkins's tacking. Roberts just isn't that big - he's just a good regional player IMO.

If Nagy can get more game time he should be looked at at full back because he's definitely the biggest option we have there. Beetham is bigger than Winnet but he's no giant. Otherwise TBH I'm not that unhappy with Rogers at full back.

Grady on the other wing from LRZ. He's got to play somewhere.

He has already played wing, centre and back row, and also had one scrum in the second row when we had someone carded.

I remember that game. He showed more dynamism than our other forwards for that te minute stretch.
