I’m learnedly with you, except I’m concerned over Lakes darts and not sure about Carre starting. That said, if we don’t front up we could be so far behind hat a bench change is pointless. Maybe better to start with the strongest team possible and let the last 20 sort themselves out?

I much prefer that centre partnership and Hawkins deserves an opportunity.

Full back: Rogers
Wings: Murray, LRZ
Centres: Hawkins, Llewellyn
Halfbacks: Dan Edwards, Tomos Williams
Front row: Smith, Belcher, Assiratti
Second row: Rhys Davies, Jenkins
Back row: Cracknell, Wainwright, Morse (ie 6,8,7)

Bench
Front row: Lake, Carre, Griffin
Second row: Fender
Back row: Mann
Scrum half: Reuben Morgan-Williams (or Hardy, interchangeable for me)
Fly half: Evans
Utility: Hennessey (last chance before window closes)

I was tempted to put Deaves in too but I wouldn't want anyone to think I was biased towards the Ospreys :D .

Our lineout with him throwing in is never as safe as you’d want it to be. He has improved and it’s not just on the hooker but I still wouldn’t bet my mortgage on him.
