[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 1017166, member: 74084"] Leigh Halfpenny; Louis Rees-Zammit, George North, Johnny Williams, Hallam Amos; Dan Biggar, Tomos Williams; Wyn Jones, Ken Owens, Tomas Francis, Adam Beard, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric, Taulupe Faletau. [I]Replacements:[/I] Elliot Dee, Rhodri Jones, Leon Brown, Will Rowlands, Josh Navidi, Gareth Davies, Callum Sheedy, Nick Tompkins. That's not exactly an exciting pack, I understand Beard coming in to help the set piece but paired with Lydiate at 6, there's not many ball carriers. Seems a bit of strange choice since Wales really struggled to gain ground with up front carries. Biggar is the safer option at 10 but that 10,12,13 combo might be struggling to unlock the Irish defence, I'm also a bit worried about North in defence. Bench is a mixed bag, lots of impact off the bench from 19 onwards but 16,17,18 is a step down when it comes onto the field. [/QUOTE]
