[QUOTE="Welsh Exile, post: 1042361, member: 82670"] I was thinking about the general feeling, in Wales and outside of Wales, that this squad is a little uninspired or lacks ambition with not enough focus on the development aspect. And while I still agree that perhaps a few more uncapped players could’ve been called up (For example I don’t really see what we’re going to learn from Halfpenny and J Davies being in the squad and as decent as Turnbulls form has been should he really be getting a call up?) but having thought about this squad more I think the balance is more or less right. I think the thing that makes our summer series a little different is that we’re playing Argentina (a top team obviously) twice. I reckon if we had summer fixtures that England or Ireland have then we’d probably see a few more uncapped players and while I agree that the summer tours should be more development focussed we still don’t want to get our pants pulled down by Argentina in both games. To be honest, that could still happen with the form they are in and the squad we’ve selected but as I say, I think the balance is about right. [/QUOTE]
