[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 860939, member: 72520"] Quite disappointed by Nowell at 15. Last week he really put his hand up for test selection but now he's not being given the chance to follow it up as he's being played out of position. He's never performed well defensively at 15 and against that Hurricanes back line he will be exploited. He'll then receive the blame for what is Gatland's fault for playing him out of position. Just frustrates me that his test chances are being killed off by poor team selection. Surely would've made more sense to start Payne there, even if it means beanching Nowell (although I'd rather Seymour as he really does have no chance of making the test side). [/QUOTE]
