[QUOTE="amz, post: 860146, member: 39697"] We expected that Howells will pick more young players in first XV. We have there Simionescu (20 yo), Nistor (22) and coming from the bench Cojocaru (21 yo) who'll probably make his debut. This match was of a special interest for us because we expected to see more young players being given a chance. Bratu, Gordas, Pristavita are also young players , but I am surprised that Iurea (21 yo, lock forward) and Popa (21 yo center) are not rhere after they traveled to Japan and Canada and were on bench. They played last year in Nations Cup and November tests so even if they're young, they don't lack experience at all. Popa actually debuted in starting XV vs Canada last year and he did a great job for such a young player. I don't know much about Brazil. I watched some of their games but I can't really say how good they are since they won vs Canada without players from Europe or versus Portugal which have a very young team and is rebuilding. However, I find impressive they have a team made only from players from their championship (with one exception) even if some of them played in Europe at some point but decided to go back, show I think that clubs are interested to develop players.
