Excited.
but could be more.
As aa says, a very “Gatland” selection. Predictable.
But it’s a bit worrying when your most nimble back is the 34 yr old , four tour vet.
Distinct lack of plan B, or any other creativity in the backs.
It’s gonna be Welsh-style bosh, bosh , bosh – and how long’s that losing streak against the Oz now. Maybe he’s hoping to surprise them with the “Can’t possibly try that trick again, routine”?
For me, the worst exclusions are ones like Zebo or Madigan or even Care for that bit of spark that might be needed to change a game. The only creativity, apart from BOD of course, is in the back up 15s Hogg and Kearney.
But he’s already said 1/2pee’s his test-kicker, hence only needs 2 10s, so that’s borked too .
At least there’s a couple of forwards who can carry. Wasn’t Tip’s Wales most creative back this year?
He knows what he likes and he likes what he knows. But 15 welsh?
He must be trying to avoid injury withdrawals from the players involved in end of season finals.
