Absolutely, to me I don't know what else he could have done.
He's the only glaring omission for me.
 
 
I thought Beard would be in ahead of Seb Davies tbh and I though Dee would be ahead of Parry.
 
Not saying they are huge shocks but Beard and Dee both appeared to be ahead in terms of previous squads
 
 
I feel for will griff john he may never get that cap now!

I was hoping he might come down to us when he finishes with Sale.

Well done to the Scarlet 13 in particular Josh, Hardy & Johnny. With the omission of Eliot Dee Ryan can establish himself in the 23. WOL have managed to get Callum Sheedy selected ahead of Jarrod Evans which surprises me. Bit crazy selecting Liam & Patchell especially if they don't both start against Glasgow. Biggest surprise inclusion has to be Ioan Lloyd a young man going far in a hurry. 
 
logical thing is to cap sheedy and tie him to wales (cynical but true)
 
tight head is a strange one will griff john picked to start vs Scotland, game off and now he can't even get in the squad yet both brown and lewis were available for the Scotland game and he was selected ahead of both
 
Parry for dee another odd call, pivac seems to be very random with his selections
 
congrats to all and I hope all 3 of our new boys get a cap
nothing would surprise me with pivac and his selections.

delighted to see navidi faletau samson all back in and seb davies too
Agreed with comments re steff, on form and alongside adams, by far the best welsh winger, try scoring machine, incredible work rate, improved defence, his non selection is a joke

It may well be that Steff does lack that extra metre of pace but that didn't stop Shane. Steff is a clever wing who brings others into play with his excellent ball skills. Hewitt is unlucky. He does have that extra metre of pace and defensively he has improved a lot. Pivac suggesting Holmes in because he can play FB as well. How is he short of FB's - Leigh, Liam, Lloyd & Rhys can play there. He sounds to me as if he is making it up as he goes along.

WillGriff was ahead of Lewis and Brown in selection for the Scottish game in March - I don't really see that either have improved since then or indeed that WillGriff has gone backwards.

With WillGriff I don’t know what the situation is with player release from Sale. When does the window start? Are they allowed to select him or is he one of the ones who tested positive / is self-isolating after their outbreak? I guess if he joins the camp later we’ll know that it was not down to form.

Odd that Pivac says Dee needs more game time yet Sanjay hasn’t played for months and Patch, 10 minutes last Saturday? As for Steff, he had 2 tries and man of the match against the Blues whilst Jonah Holmes didn’t appear in the first 2 games and I thought Hewitt was the better of the Dragon wings last Friday night.  As mentioned in a previous post, Pivac  makes it up as he goes along mun!

Should be there in place of North but North is never going to be dropped.

North has 95 caps. I want him to hit the century. He's not been at the heights of 5-6 years ago, but was still our best winger until the emergence of Josh Adams.

95 caps or not he isn't in form & for me Steff deserves to be in there in front of him. 

Just pretend North plays for the Scarlets. Different opinions then.

No, none at all, I also think Owen Lane would start ahead of North.

Interesting comment from Pivac on the Q&A. When asked about the non selection of Steff he rolled out the usual "he knows what he needs to work on etc " as well as saying that the Scarlets haven't scored a try for two games????? What has that to do with the non selection of Steff? 

After his final year in charge at PYS I thought that Pivac had lost the plot somewhat. From his first months in charge of the National team I worry that I may have been right.

So by not selecting Steff Evans he’s lost the plot?
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

No nothing to do with Steff - just the muddled way he seems to go about selection in general. In all honesty I think Hewitt probably deserves to be selected ahead of Steff but both Hewitt and Steff should be ahead of Holmes. Saying that Holmes can play FB as well as some sort of justification is totally woolly when he has plenty of FB cover. In addition why would he mention that the Scarlets haven't scored a try for two games when asked about Steff's non selection. Totally irrelevant. Dee needs games - Liam not ready until France weekend etc etc = a coach who is not in control in my humble opinion.
