[QUOTE="Mikel92, post: 690145, member: 71857"] I would love to see Carter playing, but I'm not going to sit here and argue for it. I can totally understand my countrymen saying that his form is concerning. It is. And it always is when he first comes back, this isn't a [B]new[/B] phenomena. All I can say is, it would be cool if he did start, but if he doesn't then a bench spot would be handy. Also, we really can't say on the one hand "Carter is out of form" but then promote Cruden. Until Cruden learns to kick goals properly, then why consider him either? You could go in circles with that argument. At the risk of sounding over confident and cocky, I don't think it will be a lucky escape or anything like it was for Australia. Hey, I may be wrong, but I think Wales are having issues. That isn't a free license for us to be stupid or anything. But when I think of "improvements" I think of Scotland and Ireland. Not Wales. Gatland is struggling against sides like Fiji. Granted, not losing, but not impressive either. And guess what happened to the last fella who that happened to? Yep. Bye-bye Gareth Jenkins. I agree with Larkseas team. Conrad and Jerome to both start, if they can. I'd like to see Carter get more game time, but if not then Barrett for me. Won't be a blow out but it shouldn't be super close. [/QUOTE]
