Who do you think we should be taking on the summer tour? There are some youngsters who could rise to the challenge I reckon, I think the main youngsters I would like to see given an opportunity are:

Morgan Morse
Macs Page
Tom Bowen
James Fender
Ryan Woodman

I'm sure I've missed someone, maybe Hamer-Webb tho he's not really a youngster, Harry Rees-Weldon was quite impressive for the Scarlets last weekend so he's an option also.

I wouldn’t argue with any of them. I do t think we will be missing too many to the Lions, so my key objective would be winning. But we should look to blood a few youngsters.

We should be looking to cap some dual-qualified youngsters. To shut WOL up about them ;)

Forgive me for my ignorance as I live in NZ so only really get details.of the national team and its woes, but what happened to Callum Sheedy? He was supposed to be the 10 that got the backs moving like he did at the Bears, but seems to have disappeared from National consideration. How's he doing at Cardiff?

Not sure what Gatland's thinking was with him. At the start of the season I thought he should have been in the Welsh squad. And he's been playing well for Cardiff. However, his placekicking has become unreliable, below the level essential for test rugby IMO. If he fixes that, he should be back in the running, but I think he does have some flaws in his basic technique ie he always curls the ball to the left.

But with a new coach incoming, who knows which players might get another chance?
