Team for the Summer

[Scrumhead]

Sheedy is a decent shout. I don’t think he’s going to be world class but perhaps he can be competent enough to allow Costelow or another young ten to come through without the expectation.

The Fail have promoted Beard back to the pack. Maul defence aside I don’t see why. I’d start with Towlands and Jenkins with Christ on the bench.

Our pack has been much more mobile,
We just need to ensure we have our big carriers in play, which Rowlands and Lake give us as a start in the front 5.

Sheedy is considerably better than Costelow or Thomas IMO. As long as he starts OK in Cardiff, he should be the go-to guy.

Agree about Adams. I don’t think he’s finished yet by a long chalk but he needs to earn his place. If he can remain fit, I think Grace is going to be very good.

That could be a big if. Reports in the Fail and elsewhere are that Grace has had an operation on a hamstring following the summer tour.

That’s not good. Presumably a repetition of the same injury that buggered up his time in France? For a player of his type that could be very limiting.

Hopefully it’s fixable.

Thankfully not the same injury - that was to his achilles, not his hamstring.
