Problem it seems is that Wayne, by not playing LRZ against Italy, has given himself a choice between North & Jonny neither of whom, frankly, deserve to be in the squad on current form. Lose this one and maybe Wayne will roll the dice.

That would be a massive wasted opportunity.

It isn't feasible to select LRZ. He has only participated in three training sessions since being in the squad. He was injured during the first week but if you aren't involved in the 23 you get sent back to your English club on the Tuesday of test week.
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

Sorry sn but if that is the reason why are rowlands and biggar in the 23 then? they were with their teams last week
 
North is playing poorly regardless of being available for training , LRZ is playing well get him in the team I say

Glad he has stuck with Tomkins. Watkin made a strong case and is unlucky to miss out on at least the bench.

North has an attribute of being the center cover should either starting center get injured.
If Sanjay was fit I think he'd be out.

LMZ is not a test starter yet in my view.

If thats the case why pick him in the squad. Farcical.

Yes bit silly to comment. Humphries was sensible in bringing up the refereeing of the scrums in the past two games which would concentrate the mind of this week's ref but Wyn suggesting that the French were going to cheat is asking for trouble - shades of another guy called Jones!!!!

Much better over the ball. Seems to be better in the scrum.

Wyn Jones is a better in the scrum, better defensively & has stated better over the ball.

Rob is good when the game is open, but like Samson has never really recovered from his injuries over the past few seasons. I still feel they are still good props, but a shame about the injuries, as on the form of a few years ago and their progression could well have been Lions in 2021, I fear that will not happen now. 
Be careful when you pick up the stick.........IT MAY BE THE WRONG END!!!!!!!!!!
