[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 1052408, member: 12190"] Interesting hearing BOD on off the ball talking about the centre selections. I agree with him that it feels a bit of a travesty in a way that somehow we're at this point where it feels like Gatland doesn't have the centre he needs despite having a number of guys to choose from - where is your Henry Slade who is physical and can defend but also has something extra, great left foot, and can link to the back 3? Or Ringrose if you prefer, but Slade's recent form is better. I mean there's Daly but he barely ever plays at 13 anymore and compromises a bit of physicality. And yes Henshaw can do a job there - but the point is Henshaw is one of the best 12s in the world, that's where you want him. I dunno, maybe a bit harsh because hindsight is speaking but some selections which raised eyebrows at the time are now looking pretty dumb [/QUOTE]
