Oh, of course. All the Dragons squad that didn't get an initial international call up will end up as being out of action for all of November, won't they?
Thomas Young would be the obvious other candidate but he is now ineligible having signed a new contract with Franchise RFC, despite not being offered one by a Welsh region.

Antepli Ejderha Wales 23 for Georgia, Ioan Lloyd does indeed make the bench. I wonder who our cover at 10 is, Tipuric could probably do it.

I didn't realise that, not seen much of him.
Though going by his wiki page from earlier today (now corrected), he really should be in the second row or perhaps a sumo wrestler :

Argentina v Australia this morning was a more exciting, attacking game than the tryless 15-15 scoreline might suggest.
It also leaves the Tri-Nations finely poised with each team on six points but Argentina with a game in hand in the other two.

Jonny May wonder try apart, that match was hot garbage. Billy V is done at this level, Daly will never be a full back no matter how many times he's selected there, Youngs is the greatest mystery of rugby - how the fuck has he got 10 caps, let alone 100? Farrell can't do anything except kick. Unless we can physically dominate a team we have no idea what to do - see RWC Final 2019. We spent the entire second half camped in our 22 playing defence vs attack.
Ireland were shit.
There were literally 15 seconds of attacking intent in the entire game.
