Suprised not to see Reuben Morgan Williams in at 9. Been starting and playing well for the Ospreys.
I think Gatland hit the 'Williams limit' so couldn't fit another in 😉
We're given little to no chance, but they are my team and I'll support them no matter what. I think we'll do better than people think...
I'll second that
Think you’re so right about Llewellyn! A very weird decision! Started every autumn game and now cut after continuing with incredible form for Gloucester… Watkin and Tompkins are just not it anymore?! I’m not sure Watkin ever really was it! As a Welsh fan, as soon as I saw this squad, I thought ‘this feels like Gatland’s final Welsh squad announcement’… I am happy to see Dan Edwards though as he’s been great for ospreys, but to not have Anscombe in as an experienced mentor and 10 option is very strange to me also
I'm surprised he wasn't in the squad, but I'd imagine his form in the autumn games is the reason why he wasn't picked.
Italy released their squad!!
Yep you are right, I didn't feature in the rugby news!
Botha, Rhys Davies, James Fender, Olly Cracknell, RMW, Angus O'Brian, Louis Hennesy and Max Llewellyn
I think your starting pack is probably correct. That is the same back row we played in the world cup and was excellent.
Not sure D Edwards will start against France, he may well go with Thomas as starting 10. Williams, Rogers and Adams are all good players, but also strong in the air, so will likely be the starting back 3.
Centres are v much an unknown.
If Thomas starts at 10 against France, it's possible we will go with Watkin (12) and Roberts (13) in the centres. They looked good against them in last year's championship. Watkin offers a decent carrying game, but is also the best distributor (assuming Thomas isn't playing 12). Both he and Roberts are defensively clever, although they aren't the biggest, so who knows.
A 6 2 split is certainly a possibility.
I love how you say Tomkins and Watkin arent the future for Welsh rubgy but then they are your starting Centres Youre right though they arent the future, and in reality neither have really shown in a Welsh shirt that they are good enough. Youre also bang on about Llewellyn, for me the Centres should have been James at 12 and Llewellyn at 13. Would have given us some real ball carrying in the backline that has really been missed since people like Parkes, Roberts and Davies retired. Wales at the moment cant get over the gainline and we still refuse to pick genuine ball carriers. Same goes for Carre from Sarries, instead we bring in Matthias who isnt a great Scrummager or Ball Carrier.
They aren't my choice at centre, the team was what I think Gatland might do
Brilliant analysis
Ummm, Freddie Thomas plays Second Row for Gloucester, not sure where this back row idea has come from. Wales are stacked in that area anyway.
Wheres Adam Beard and Rio Dyer? Injured I presume?
Beard is, but Gatland’s wisdom has omitted Dyer
Beard is injured, Dyer has been having an indifferent season
Tshiunza hasnt started much for Exeter !!!
May God be with us
"Duw a'n helpo ni bois bach" 🤔 ( We need a blydi Miracle)
Start Dan Edwards ... all the best from Costa Rica Welsh
Freddie Thomas is a lock
Tschiunza hasn’t played much at all for Exeter
@@StopTheRot There is talk about using him as an abrasive no 6.
Not from Gats though, and given that they have Wainwright and Botham as 6 options, I think it’s unlikely
Honestly just stupid selections. Go with one uncapped 10 and leaving llelewyn and Evan’s is just ridiculous. Gatland will be gone by the end of the six nations
But what Glaws is playing simply doesn’t fit with Gatland at all. So we get to keep Max at Holm!
Tom Rogers not on your squad list at the start of video
Im pretty sure "Tshiunza" is pronounced "chunza" not "swimza".
No llelewyn gatlands of his head
Interesting that you’ve put Ben Thomas as 10, even though he plays 12 week in/out. Do you think the one start at 10 for Wales is enough experience?
Overall, not sure I’m seeing a strong side from this squad but let’s see, exciting to see how Edwards does.
Yes I take your point he is a ball playing 12, but since Gatland hadn't included any other 10s then I can only assume Thomas must be in as a 10. What do you reckon?
@ yeah, you’re right. Trying to get my head around a 10 at national level that doesn’t play 10.
How is will griff John in the squad , Max not in squad is shocking , I think it's wooden spoon again gatsby and his team need to go. Mark Jones to step in ASAP please
Absolutely no idea what his centre partnership is, terrible selection, Wooden spoon 🥄
@@marktucker7976 should just go with James and Roberts.
