Priestland v Hook

So it's the final. Wales have beaten France and James Hook played well. Scored a try, kicked his points etc. Who should Gatland pick at 10 assuming Priestland is fit?

if Hook has an amazing game he will probably be kept at 10, if he has an average or below game then Priestland will come straite back in IMO but the French will be a real challenge i hope the players are'nt underestimating them in any way because they are more than capable of winning

Realistically if Wales make the final, then both will be in the 22. In that situation I think you have to start with Priestland, and use Hook off the bench. He is great against a tiring defence with gaps appearing. I think it is safe to say that against either Australia or New Zealand, Wales are not going to run away with the game and slaughter them, but could beat either by keeping things tight and ensuring that they are still in it with 15-20 minutes to go. If that is the case, then Hook would be a fantastic option to have coming off the bench to try to win the game.

Yep i'd agree with that. Glad we've got that all resolved. one less thing for Gatland to think about...

Should we reach the final then it would depend on how well Hook Plays against the French, tough call both are great flyhalfs
