1. Gethin Jenkins.

I did not put Lee Byrne into it because he hasn't been the same play of 08/09 and Priestland has done well for the scarlets in that position. Also I believe Mike Phillips upped his game last week and has cemented the Number 9 shirt. Onto the number 8, I chose Falatau. Even though he wasn't at his best last saturday, he has huge potential and Delve has not really been given the opportunity to prove me otherwise. Last point I would like to make is leaving Bradley Davies out. I would use him for an impact sub.

South Wales Echo?

No this is not the thoughts of the South Wales echo. Its the thought of the Dragonator. Feel free to choose yours and offer personal thoughts.

No James Hook, I think he is your most talented player.

It was a choice between him and Jonathan Davies. The latter play outside centre more often and has played well all year

"Last point I would like to make is leaving Bradley Davies out. I would use him for an impact sub.."

Terrible decision in the 2nd row. Ryan Jones to no.8, it was clear on sat that we needed him, Faletau to bench. If you don't rate Bradley then you should have opted for an in-form Charteris to start. Hook would probably be on the bench to cover 10 and 13, well I hope he would. However he is more than capable of making the 10 jersey his own. Davies and Roberts didn't work out well however when switched around it does look promising, certainly is a good backline. Perhaps I'm alone here, but Paul James made the tighthead jersey his, we don't need Gethin's attributes now with Lydiate and Warburton.

Hooker position is a debate in it's own.

Nottins jones, as a dragons fan I would normally agree with you on Charteris. However I disagree with your comment that he is "on form" because he hasn't played much rugby after having that injury. Ryan Jones showed his best form at second this season.

Nottinsjones:

Agreed, Jones showed he has to start against SA at 8 and move to 2 row to give Toby more experience if we build a decent lead in any of the games (unlikely).
