[QUOTE="Goodey, post: 853678, member: 69270"] I'll guess 1. Vunipola 2. Owens 3. Furlong 4. AWJ 5. Itoje 6. O'Brien 7. Warburton 8. Stander 9. Murray 10. Sexton 11. Daly 12. Henshaw 13. Joseph 14. North 15. Hogg Calling up Haskell instead of Heaslip suggests to me that Gatland views Stander as a number 8. He's already said that Farrell is going as 10, so club positions are probably more important than national ones. Be interesting to watch how Stander and Faletau perform in the provincial matches, that one's pretty up in the air to me. Calling him up over Robshaw suggests that he wants 2 big ball carriers in the back row along with one lineout option, who will have to be Warburton. So SOB and Moriarty will be the number 6 options along with Stander. Joseph should be at 13 unless Davies makes a very, very convincing argument on tour. I get that Gatland may well pick Halfpenny at full back but I hope not. [/QUOTE]
