A few surprises in there for the first test. Thought Sexton and Halfpenny would start.
Wyn Jones over Itoje is a surprise too.
I like the side, we're going to have a right go at them and not just look to contain them.
AWJ isn't a suprise, Itoje is a better option off the bench.
It's great to see a bench where any player that comes on is going to make an impact, with no drop in the standard of player.
1st test is vital, if we lose it we'll lose the series 3-0
I agree about the bench impact. I thought AWJ was almost certain to start - go large upfront, and can change it if need be.
Tr'o I've not seen much of to know what he offers, beyond a RL approach.
Daly - again, I've not see much of him. How fast is he?
Reported in the paper today that Warburton told Gatland he wasn't ready for a full match, which is commendable.
Daly is a fine player and reads the game very well, a George North in form will be sorely missed but he doesn't deserve a test spot on current form
