[QUOTE="MikeTheNative, post: 1060093, member: 74084"] Thought that's a bit harsh on Priestland who showed some nice touches off the bench. Myhill was always going to be dropped for Roberts coming and Elias can count himself lucky that he get's another chance to start. Not sure is Parry is injured at the moment as I thought he would have been next in line. A lot of faith shown in Carre here, it's either going to be making of him or we might see him getting hooked after 30, he's scrummaging has steadily improved but it's going to be tested now. Glad that Willgriff finally get's a chance, will also improve scrum of the bench which looks reasonably solid. It's just about been 3 years that Jenkins put in a motm performance against SA but also got injured. If he can hit those heights again then that's a mobile, attacking, back row that can hurt SA in the outside channels but also compete at the breakdown. However Wales really struggled with the close quarters battle last week so I can't see why SA don't try attack similarly this week. Seb Davies should not be covering the back row at this level from the bench, expect SLH to be there next week. I think it's probably fait that McNicholl get's other go at 15, dealt with the high ball decent enough last week and Liam Williams needs to get some game time in. Hopefully they can actually get the ball to LRZ and Adams with a decent amount of space. Biggar should help settle things at 10 but the merry go round at centre has Tompkins at 12 this week. 10-12-13 didn't really work last week so hopefully this one gels a bit better this week but JD2 is the weak link there, really devoid of options at 13 at the moment.
