Not good news.

All the more reason for Wales to call Josh Adams

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye,
Josh Adams and Steff Evans are the best that Wales have, stick Sanjay at 15 and that's an electric back 3.

 

[GarethGriffiths]

I agree with Sanjay/Liam Williams at 15, but I wonder what the 'but he plays in England' mob would make of it?

Aye, easy choice imo with Sanjay at 15 if fit, Steff Evans and Josh Adams on the wings.

Steff's red card and subsequent ban has come at a bad time, but I'd still start him v Scotland.

I'm fully prepared for Halfpenny and Cuthbert to start though........

I've heard rumblings that the Welsh management has asked Cardiff to start Cuthbert this weekend over Tom James. Again, TJ would be starting for me against the Ospreys. Shows who they prefer out of the two...

News today that Cuthbert is leaving Blues at end of season. Can't see any of the other regions wanting him, so he'll likely end up in France or England.

Surely that will have a bearing on his Wales chances. He shouldn't be anywhere near the squad anyway, but now that he'll likely not be available for selection from next season, surely any chance of him being selected is now gone, even with the large injury list?

 

[GarethGriffiths]

I would guess so, Dullonien, and it looks as if young replacements won't be a problem.

If I were Cuthbert, I'd look at Glaws or Bath.

Replacement for George North at Saints maybe....

Nobody would want him in France surely, I reckon his options lie somewhere between early retirement and Japan

That would be great if he was shipped to an English club

Not good news.

Not bad news either, his form has been average and we have options, my main worry/focus is the back row will the management be stupid enough to overlook James Davies again he is currently the best linkman in GB. Who do we have as a ball carrier ? with Toby out I think no 8 and the back row balance is the most serious concern we as supporters have (Unless Cuthbert gets picked)

If I were Cuthbert I'd loose some weight and return to show jumping
