[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 262255"] Solid reasoning there, can't argue with any of that. Warberton can play anywhere in the back-row, 6 is probably his best position, so I'd be happy to see him paired with Sowden-Taylor and Ryan Jones (has the making of a very well balanced unit). I feel Charteris has the potential to be a world class second row, I just feel he's a bit like Michael Owen, lacking on the aggression front, though he shouldn't with his size. I suppose pairing him with one of Bradley Davies, Deiniol Jones or Ian Gough (wow, there's great strength in depth at second row, Ian Evans aswell when he recovers!), should provide the agression. This is the kinda tour that will hopefully kick his progress on, saying that, he will probably miss out due to the playoff with the Dragons :(. Mark Jones has really frustrated me in recent years, he has the skills to be a great all round player. He's excellent defensively and has bags of pace, he just seems to fall over too often! Fussell was probably a casualty of the play-off situation though, with the management wanting to keep it to 5 players from both the Dragons and Scarlets. I'm quite looking forward to this tour, haven't had this kinda young talent coming through in my lifetime :). [/QUOTE]
