Oops. Typo! Can’t even me own name. Interesting side & also to see how Kyle Sinckler, Iain Henderson & Ross Moriarty go up front & ditto in the backs with Greig Laidlaw @ 1/2 with Sexton & with wing man Seymour, whom I like as he can leap for the high balls. Also interesting centre combo of Ben Te’o & Jonathan Joseph, Anthony Watson on the other wing & the entrepreneurial Stuart Hogg @ f/back. A few dirt trackers being given a shout? Whatever, may produce a bolter or 2 & seems to be an attacking line up to me. Not too much of a risk 1st up, but they will want to ko with a good start & this team could well be composed to do just that.

I’m not sure this one will be classed as a relatively safe environment. The oppo are all out to make a name for themselves and I can see this one being a bit rough – after all they have nothing to lose

Think the big talking point for this game will be where he brings Farrell on! Will he come on at 10 to replace Sexton or as most of us hope at 12 to try out the Sex-Faz axis in a relatively safe environment?

Loving the fact that they have selected Gatlands son for the first game. Let the mind games commence

Gatland has said he has picked from the players who have been in training camp these last couple of weeks i.e. not those in playoff games which will explain most of those omissions you are thinking off
