[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 955539, member: 76349"] That's a very very weak set of props, especially compared to who Ireland and England have in that position. Not too sold on the non-AWJ locks either. Six backrows seem unnecessary although Shingler covering for Hill's injury makes sense. Don't get why Tomos William's was ditched from the matchday squad for Aled Davies in the Six Nations, it was a bizarre decision that wasn't really questioned because of Wales won the slam. Three scrumhalves is rarely necessary, especially when you only have three centres with no obvious cover. With Patchell able to play 15 you'd easily be able to drop one of the back three and bring in another centre. Balance of the whole squad seems off but who am I to argue with Gatland? I do think that in terms of quality.this squad is a noticeable step down from the ones England, SA and NZ have named, and combined with the game on Saturday does highlight a lack of depth in the Welsh squad. That the strengths of the Welsh team are less dependent on individual talent and well suited for knockout rugby so it I think they'll do well. [/QUOTE]
