[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 313618, member: 13739"] But why haven't we seen anything of Ben Lewis since returning from injury. Anyone seen him play in the premiership? Maybe it's just taking him time to recover from being out for so long. I feel we have enough quality coming through at 6 and 7 with the likes of Warberton, Lydiate, Turnball, McCusker etc. But there's almost no-one coming through at 8. It's been great to see Faletau have a run of games and showing that he's capable of pushing for a spot in the next few years, but there's no-one at the Scarlets pushing Lyons, Smith is not good enough at the Ospreys to seriously challenge Ryan Jones, who himself isn't playing all that well. The Blues have Powell, who's going downhill. The Dragons appear to be the future for 8, with both Faletau and Lewis Evans both looking like prospects, but that's not enough. [/QUOTE]
