[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 349957, member: 13739"] Bloody hell. We were going into this AI series with a very healthy squad, only Jamie Roberts and Ian Evans out of contention due to injury. Now in the last few days Byrne, Halfpenny and McCusker are out, while Ryan Jones misses the first game and there are doubts over Bradley Davies and Richie Rees. Ryan Jones isn't a huge loss imo considering his form at 8. But it does leave out back-row a little thin now. It'll be interesting to see how Mathew Rees goes at captain. Not sure why Gatland hasn't bought Turnbull in to replace McCusker, probably because it'll be Powell coming in to replace him after the Aus game. Halfpenny's a blow, but there are able deputies in Brew, Prydie, Czekaj or North if fit. Loosing Bradley Davies would be a majour blow though, so I hope he's fit for all the games. A least all the injures appear to be minor ones, so they should all be fine in time for the 6 nations. [/QUOTE]
