[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 195734"] Options are very bare at openside, but I'm confident Jonathan Thomas can do the job. He's played there many a time in the past, holding up well. South Africa don't play a traditional 7 either, more two 6.5's for both flankers. The rest of the pack is the same as the 6 nations (though I would personally of had Hibbard no 1 Hooker, Bennett second). We've got plenty of players able to do the hard yards, but will really miss the constructive and link play Martyn Williams offers. The backline should have no problems in defense, but we might miss the straightening of the line Henson offers. Bishop is a great prospect, a very solid player, but he's not in the same league as Henson. Will Wales resume crabbing across the field, like they did in the absense of Henson during the world cup etc. I'm glad they have the warm up game on sat v World IV to help the new players gel, and try some new moves etc. I'm going btw, anyone else? Should be a good day out. [/QUOTE]
