Wales team changes for the 6Ns

First topic message reminder :

At present, only the Ospreys are showing any regional form - and it is important that Howley makes changes to the team and finally drops some of the off form players who have failed to improve their form with their regions

Wales will also have to cope with a lot of injuries - AWJ and Luke Charteris are out and Ian Evans, Leigh Halfpeny, Jamie Roberts and Dan Lydiate have yet to return to action.

We have to start picking form players

3. Adam Jones
4. Bradley Davies
5. Ian Evans
6. Ryan Jones
7. Justin Tipuric

9. Mike Phillips
10. Dan Biggar
11. George North
12. Scott Williams
13. Jonathan Davies
14. Alex Cuthbert
15. Leigh Halfpenny

16. Matthew Rees
17. Rhys Gill/Paul James
18. Craig Mitchell? (Scott Andrews)
19. James King

21. Tavis Knoyle

15th Jan, next Tuesday.

In the Vale Hotel.

Will Howely be announceing the squad or Gatland?

Howley and McBryde.

Would be interesting to learn how mucth faith Welsh fans have in Howely and Mc bride in picking the best players for the welsh squad? (on form or reputation)

I don't know whether to or

jamie roberts is pants. scott williams offers much more and is far and away the more imaginative and skillful player. jamie isnt even versitile enough for the bench. maybe let him play against italy and rest scott williams.

mike phillips is pants. john evans(dragons) is a propoer scrum half who can get the ball to the backs. phillips is a poor scrum half and a poor flanker. maybe usefull off the bench.

ryan jones must start (in the back row preferably but lock if we need him there instead) he is the one player who can bring some leadership to the side. he doesnt need to be captain just as long as warbs (or whoever) checks with ryan first.

liam williams must get a look in.

opinions are my own, but you all know im right.

and, as others have said, we know the team that howley/gats will pick and it will be slow ball (thanks to phillips) to a center (drbob) who falls over behind the gainline.
