One remark Eddie Jones has made in the past is that a player who’s returning from injury or isn’t match fit can usually perform well on the first game back but their performance drops off the following week - I believe he justified dropping Ben Teo this way once. If it’s true then Pivac should be careful which game he chooses to launch Navidi, AWJ & Ken back into it

I think that sums it up, really. The squad holds no great surprises - Lydiate has been playing well, TBF, and deserves his recall. In fact, given that Wales have great problems crossing the gain line, I'd have also recalled Doc Roberts, who has been playing as well as any centre in Wales this term - with improved distribution to add to his power... though his omission, again, is no surprise. Wales lack good options in a number of positions, in part because of injuries. We can't have much optimism for this campaign.

Yes Dyniol you are spot on.. My point really was that we have been reduced in a very short time to considering putting up a brave losing effort at home to Ireland as some sort of progress. Not much about this squad of aging past stars along with many short of games and form excites me I am afraid. I have no expectations at all but will still be screaming at the boys from my sofa come kick off.

Carre goes to show that a big frame does not necessarily a rugby player make.

But have you seen him weightlift in the gym? (That's what people like Sam Warburton were saying about him when he re-signed for the Blues).

Apparently it was the PRB who said Rhys Preistland couldn't be involved despite him signing a 2 year deal with the Blues.

It's being reported that Owen Farrell has tested positive for Covid.
