There were some not travelling due to family reasons rather than injury etc, iirc.

What I’ve seen of Cai this season he’s been very solid at 15, good positional sense and a very powerful boot, which takes the pressure off.
He certainly doesn’t possess his father’s pace and sidestep though.

Cai has all the attributes of a solid fullback except pace. I think Ieuan would still beat him in a foot race.

I think he may be the future at full back for Wales. In the mould of Halfpenny, positionally very good and an excellent kicking game. Am I the only one to rate him?

No you are not. He played well in the European games against Montpellier & Tigers with decent pace and reliable kicking. However when you look at the standard of 15's playing at the top International sides you have to admit that Rogers & Cai do not stand out - Steward, Hogg, Ramos, Keenan, Barrett, Capoutto to name but 6!!!!!

It's interesting how many players won't actually have a club come the Summer warm ups come along and the final 33 announced etc.

As the O's have yet to confirm ther departures we only know of guys like Halfpenny, Lydiate and one or two others without a club. In many ways beign part of the Wales squad actually diminishes their chances of gettign a club deal.

I suspect Moriarty has weighed that up in his call.

Wyn has clearly fallen down the pecking order as has JMac. Well done to all Scarlets selected. Liam has played 180 minutes for Cardiff so we got the right end of that deal. Cai Evans & Rogers inclusion tells us how dire our talent is coming through at 15. 

Henry Thomas' inclusion is an interesting one. He has done well when I have seen limited matches involving Montpellier but this latest rule of being able to play for another country after 3 years is suspect to say the least. Of course it was originally designed for the South Sea Islanders so perhaps they should have restricted it to moving from tier one to tiers below.

Cai Evans that’s quite a shock.



Sorry sir, I was pulling legs avbout Scott.
The original news brightened up my Bank Holiday and your most recent post adds to that. Nice spoof story. Should’ve kept quiet as another news source may well have run with it further.Wink

Or is it a double bluff to save being told off for breaking the news early? Big smile
