Sherratt's voice is obviously dominant because he is obsessed with a second 'playmaker' at 12; hence Ben Thomas. Fine, but this only works if your pack can carry and punch holes in the opposition. We have a coach who picks a lightweight pack against one of the strongest in world rugby. Add in a 10 who stands way back to give him time to think and the 'playmaker' at 12 is a waste of a shirt because he's now being rag-dolled and throwing the ball anywhere. As I said = delusional. Same again on Sunday.
If we pick same side against France I’m off to bookies to get us to lose by more than 60 points.

The altitude at the top of steep hill must have got to me because I read your post as suggesting that everyone can see McLeod should play full back, which I thought was a bold choice even by the current selection standards lol. 

Now I’ve given the WRU a lot of stick over selection recently (especially for a man who claims we should play Elias as a crash ball 12 every few weeks) but surely the obvious way to keep Lake in the team, use his best attributes and keep him away from the lineouts is to Ken Owens him and move him to 8, with Elias at 2, with Cracknell and Wainwright as flankers. That brings 4 ball carriers into the forwards, allows them to still pick the captain and takes out lines from 50% to 80%…..

Grady on the wing for Adams, LRZ to wing, Mee or McLeod to 15 (dealers choice), James to 12 and Watkin to 13? Bigger, beefier team. 
I'd like to see the chart you read from in Specsavers.Wink

So would I! LOLLOL

I suppose they could have been told that the changes are, there are no changes?

Apparently they looked very good in the unopposed drills and sneaked a 5 nil win.

The odds will be rubbish though.

Worth a punt for Wales to win though.

I was offered a couple of freebies. And it saddens me to say I just couldn't get excited enough to make the trip.

We want to retain the element of surprise and keep the opposition guessing.
