My thoughts on the Wales squad are mixed, no Scott Williams, Thomas Young or Luke Hamilton are all strange calls. Hamilton has now been selected by Scotland and is lost to Wales.
The idea of playing a creative 12 is nothing new for Wales, Hook and Henson have both played there but not since the RWC in NZ.
If this was a real plan why wasn't it tried out in the summer against Tonga and Samoa when Owen Williams was there and ready, instead he got 8 minutes as a blood replacement and Jamie Roberts was the captain. Unfortunately this isn't going to go well unless it's Priestland and Biggar which could work.
As for other decisions how is Lydiate back? Cuthbert?
What's the point of picking Webb if he can't play in the RWC?
More questions than answers which has become the norm under Gatland.
