[QUOTE="DuncTheDoodle, post: 316308, member: 38950"] Gill came on for 3 minutes against Ireland. Lewis-Roberts is probaly out because there's a weight restriction on the plane. Glad Owens is in, although I don't see why they don't just bring the extra 8 to New Zealand. It's surely not that expensive to book a few extra seats? Glad McCusker is in, just because it gives hope to those who think they can't make it because there hasn't been a hype train surrounding them, and on top of that it gives Gatland and co. time to craft him into a great No. 6 by the World Cup. Knoyle shouldn't be in. Evans is playing much better than him. I still think Harries should start against SA, as the 8 extras will be avalible to play in that test but not the other two (See? Pointless.), and with poentially 3 youngsters gunning for the 14 shirt, we could bring out the best in all of them. Plus he's more experienced than Prydie, even if he isn't capped. Why Tovey isn't in the full team, I don't know. But then, I supose, there's no real suprise with much of this- The first team is still pretty damned strong, and could certainly give a second-string Springbok side a beating and New Zealand a run for their money. Who will play at 6 against SA, if Powell won't be fit? JT or McCusker? Decissons, dessicons... [/QUOTE]
