[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 195631"] Well, the squad was announced this morning, with the biggest talking point being the omission of Colin Charvis. That leaves Wales without a specialist openside for the tour, suggesting Gatland will play an absolutely massive backrow of Ryan Jones, Jonathan Thomas and Gareth Delve. [b]Backs:[/b] Morgan Stoddart, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams, Tom James, Mark Jones, Sonny Parker, Tom Shanklin, Stephen Jones, James Hook, Andy Williams, Warren Fury, Gareth Cooper.[b] Forwards: [/b]Ryan Jones (captain), Dafydd Jones, Jonathan Thomas, Gareth Delve, Bradley Davies, Ian Evans, Alun-Wyn Jones, Ian Gough, Duncan Jones, Gethin Jenkins, Rhys Thomas, Adam Jones, Matthew Rees, Huw Bennett. There's a return for Dafydd Jones (who could also substitute at 7 if needed). Uncapped Warren Furry tours along with the giant Cardiff Blues second row Bradley Davies (6'6", 19st +) Who will fill the no 12 shirt in the absence of Gavin Henson. I thought calling up Andrew Bishop was a good move, but he hasn't been included in the final squad. That leaves us with Sonny Parker (god no, not again!), moving James Hook or moving Stephen Jones. I think moving Jones is the best bet. [/QUOTE]
