[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 739848, member: 20956"] Is this one even being shown anywhere? I can't find anything about it on any Welsh / Irish TV guides? Seems a bit strange if it's not on! I certainly wouldn't mind a line up like that! Enough of the core 1st choice players to let the team start to gel together, but enough chances for fringe players to stake a claim. Makes sense to try someone different at 8 - Faletau is nailed on starter, and we need to make sure we have a back up - would be happy with either Moriarty, or even Warbs starting there alongside Lydiate at 6 and Tips at 7. Same goes for fly half - we all know Biggar is no.1, and we won't learn as much with him starting as we would with Anscombe. Morgan on the wing would be great - I'd really like to see him given a start as part of a (more or less) full strength team. That second wing spot is wide open at the moment with Liam still injured, so why not give him a shot? Same goes for Amos and Eli. However, despite all that - I expect Gatland to revert back to type and pick a relatively straightforward 1st XV selection. I'm expecting Cuthbert to start, leak 3 or 4 tries, then get selected because he scores a brace of easy run ins... [/QUOTE]
