[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 938950, member: 56738"] Apart from a fit Faletau at 8... it is almost impossible to select 6 and 7 if everyone were fit. Without wanting to sound disparaging, I do think that Shingler is a great bench player what with him being able to cover second row too. Prior to this 6N I would have said 6. Moriarty, 7. Tipuric & 8. Faletau... and that still may be the way forward but Navidi has impressed me greatly (again... he impressed me before he got the injury last year too) as did Ellis Jenkins against SA... and... I was surprised as anyone, Lydiate was absolutely brilliant against Scotland in the Autumn. As mush as I love James Davies, I feel his only hope of getting anywhere near the match day 23 is if Pivac’s close proximity to him over the last few years sways him a bit (or injury). I haven’t even mentioned Wainwright or Ollie Griffiths, whom I’m a big fan of both and hope that they come good in the next couple of seasons. There are also some great kids bubbling under and ready to burst onto the scene too so the back row looks like it will only become tougher to select the three. [/QUOTE]
