Team against Benetton

Few of those selections are subject to players recovering from injuries. Roberts, Ball, Douglas.
I think Cawdor will start to provide some experience, also Dan Davies for a breakdown threat.

Gutted for Elis. Would have loved to see him get a run. Sizable player.

I’d like to see Badham in the 23. Not used since Glasgow, when he had a good game.

If I was an up-and-coming 10, I'd love to have a run out in that team. 

With the improved confidence seen in the last 2 games, I feel it is a good environment into which younger less experienced can be introduced.

CLJ is with the U20 squad don’t think he will/can be released

It looks as if our pack won't be too badly effected by Wales call ups.
Macleod will be a loss, but recently Plumtree has not excelled. In fact I'm not sure he's the right type of player at 6. He does have moments where he shows great skill and imagination,and is a lineout asset. But he's not all that involved in the basics of clearing out to help win/keep the ball after a movement comes to a halt. Too often he's somewhere else waiting to receive the ball and provide the miracle pass. Unfortunately the ball is less likely to come unless he gets stuck in.
As for Johnny Williams, I appreciate his willingness to carry, but first he's got to catch the ball, and then put in a decent pass- two features he's not the best at. But our two obvious 12s are with Wales.

So my 23 would be-

15 - Jac Davies
14 - Iori Badham
13 - Macs Page
12 - Joe Roberts
11 - Tomi Lewis
10 - Carwyn Leggatt Jones
9 - Archie Hughes
8 - Fletcher Anderson
7 - Jarrod Taylor
6 - Max Douglas
5 - Sam Lousi
4 - Jake Ball
3 - Henry Thomas
2 - Marnus Van Der Merwe
1 - Kelmsley Mathias
Bench
16 - Harri Thomas
17 - Alec Hepburn
18 - Archer Holz
19 - Harvey Cuckson
20 - Dan Davis
21 - Gareth Davies
22 - Ioan Nicholas
23 - Johnny Williams

Wouldn’t mind seeing Sparrow get involved with the first team more. I think he has a higher ceiling than Davis and Taylor.
