[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 849213, member: 12190"] I take your point, I just think that wherever there were tough choices to be made, the Welsh guys got over the line if they were even on the table - thats all. And again that's not their fault or by the way the Welsh publics fault that they have to apologise for, just how it seems to be. - I would have taken Heaslip over Moriarty and Ringrose over Davies, probably. That changes things already from 12/11 split to a 9/14 split in Irelands favour, far more reflective of recent (18 months) international form. - Quite significantly I also wouldn't have taken Halfpenny. How many potential full-backs do we have now? Hogg (clear first choice), Payne, Halfpenny, then both Williams and Daly. Halfpenny would be pretty far back in my queue of those players. - Ford or Russell over Biggar. - Fair enough about Healy - Marler got lucky there. - Robshaw probably wasn't close you're right but I reckon he should have been. He's such a good player and hugely underrated, always will be. You've got 3 Welsh backrowers ahead of him. I don't begrudge any of them, especially not Warburton, but think about what England have achieved and how important Robshaw has been to that. As important as Warburton has been to Wales, albeit in an entirely different way. [/QUOTE]
