[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1112580, member: 82670"] Yeah I agree on everything you’ve written there really. I think Gatland name checking Anscombe (and considering how much of a fan he was prior to him getting injured) as well as Pivac being a fan, showed that Anscombe was very much going to be brought back in. Personally speaking, as I’ve said, I’m not convinced at all. He 100% has lost a yard of pace and that was Anscombes main point of difference, if he’s lost that what is he really offering? Biggar you don’t have to worry as he never had any pace anyway so his game didn’t revolve around that like it did with Anscombe. Then you have the problem with the fact that Anscombe has been out of the game for basically 3 years now. You can count on one hand how many games he’s had for the Ospreys let alone Wales over the last year now he’s out for another 6 months plus. We really should be calling it a day with him now given his age and time out of top flight rugby. I just wish we had actually exposed Evans to test match rugby a few years ago, think he could’ve been a lot further on in his development had we done so. [/QUOTE]
