If there is insufficient talent then why are so many Welsh qualified players playing in England/France?
Surely if the cash was there they could have been retained?

Remember when we had Halfpenny & Williams so Dan Evans couldn't get near the squad?
I'd love to have Dan Evans now

He isn't available for the Boks game as he plays at Gloucester.
It's Carter, Rhys Davies & Fender as the only 3 locks in the squad playing in Wales who'll be available.
None have had any game time so far

For the NZ game we need to blood from the bench at least one of the locks that will have to play against South Africa. Otherwise we're throwing them to the wolves

I'm going with who is in the squad. Not a lot of proven options there

Out of the players in the squad I'm tempted by Beetham at fullback for some solidity.

I'd drop Murray. The ability to step someone doesn't make up for the poor positioning or inability to catch a high ball

The only other centres in the current squad are Hawkins, Tompkins & Hennessey.
Hawkins probably deserves a shot over Thomas but not sure if swapping or Llewellyn for the others makes a difference

There's no real place in test rugby for a centre who isn't a carrying option, no matter how silky their skills are.
Thomas either needs to convert to 15 or even 10 to make the most of his ball playing ability at test level

For Wales the ball goes through 10 & 12 with the team going backwards. It looks pretty but isn't effective.
Wales need a carrying option at 12 IMO.

There's no 'get out of jail' player in the Wales backline.
At club level Edwards plays with Walsh as 2nd playmaker at 15, with a crash option at 12. Which gives a pressure release.

A lineage of Lee Byrne, Halfpenny & Liam for the last 15 years.
