Totally agree.  He needs to be given time at this level.

Nigel is talking about our DNA and part of that is having a "never more than 5 metres from the ball" type flanker. Tiann should be on the bench in Italy.

With out academy players coming though, I’ve felt for a bit that we just needed to weather the WRU poo storm. I hope we are nearly there.

Injury allowing the team almost picks itself apart from debate around 13 & 7. My biggest concern is who covers 10 on the bench. I would start Cawdor with Carwyn & Johnny outside Carwyn to give him maximum support. Archie on the bench but to come on around 55/60 minutes.

Seems like the perfect time to play Benetton, they have 15 players (not including any injuries) away with the Italy 6N squad. I know we are stretched too, but surely there's a win there for the taking

Billy Mcbride has joined Scarlets as no 10 cover .
In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"
