[QUOTE="TRF_Cymro, post: 316315, member: 40909"] Disappointed that Wayne Evans and Tovey fail to make the main cut. If he did not take Prydie then 1. Where would he gain the experience from for international games? and 2. What would have been the point for Gatland for selecting him against Italy and just leaving him at home. The best thing for him is to go on tour. If you also notice the entire squad is Wales based. Possibly showing why Gatland has failed to select the likes of Gill and Eifion Lewis-Roberts. Plus Gill is playing in the GP Final so thats also a possible factor. For me Gatland has got the squad wrong and you can start to sense the unrest that is starting to form in the media. He is beginning to get under people's noses, his attitude towards Gareth Delve showed why Delve chose career over International career. The probably rumours that Gatland fell out with Peel is probably true. And the fact that Gatland may show loyalty by sticking with McBryde but as a forward expert Gatland should know that the Welsh pack is not functioning in particular with lineouts. So why does Huw Bennett make it in front of Rhys Thomas who has improved his throwing and is just as physical as Bennett. I am starting to get impatient with Gatland all the hype he brought when he won the Grand Slam has since faded and I do feel his time is running out and I dont see him being with Wales after the next RWC.
