[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 891963, member: 13739"] Moriarty had a shocker by his standards. He's meant to be one of the fiercest tacklers in the game, but he was bumped off by Leavy way to easily in the build-up to his try. He had very little impact on proceedings, and I'm fairly certain he'll lose his place. I'd keep Shingler personally, because his work at the lineout can't be matched by anyone else in the Welsh squad. I think Navidi's place should come under threat though, not necessarily as a reflection of how he's been playing (he still played well outside the breakdown Saturday), but more a reflection of the quality we have at 7. I want to see James Davies tested, he fully deserves it, and he could add a huge amount to the breakdown. The front row were pretty poor as well and that's a real shame, because they've been excellent this season up until now. We've got some options at looshead and hooker, so it'll be interesting to see if Gatland changes things there. Nicky Smith for example is back playing some superb stuff for the Ospreys, including scrummaging strongly. Is there also an opportunity to test Seb Davies, even if it's off the bench? [/QUOTE]
