I think I see Tomos as having a higher ceiling than the other 9s you mention. So while Cawdor has the pace and spark as good as any 9 in the world. His game management, slow ball when he gets tired and kicking game has always been inconsistent. Hardy certainly has a lot of growth potential too and that England game might be the making of him. Then Lloyd is probably the most reliable game manager, and kicks well and focuses on getting the ball out quick - but doesn’t really have that xfactor threat that you need in International game now. I think Tomos has the pace, the handling, the kicking skills as good as a De Klerk or DuPont but his tackling and defensive positioning is often caught short. His mistakes have cost us two very painful results in rwc semi-final and last week. But I think he’s got the most ability to learn and grow from these games simply because his core skills are so good. Next 5/6 years I expect we’ll see him and Hardy fighting it out for starter/finisher roles.

There appears to be a clamour for Tomos to start for Wales and he has even been mentioned as a Lion. I have struggled to date to really see what all the fuss is about frankly. For me Cawdor & Hardy are a lot better all round and in hindsight I think Lloyd Williams would have made a better fist of closing that game out.

I disagree there Bubba, Simon seems to write about the blues as well, but Orders either writes about the ospreys, or about Wales, with particular love being paid to Welsh ospreys players. His fascination with Rhys Webb is quite disturbing. Just my opinion though, fine to disagree like.

In what respect? If it’s that he only seems to write about the Ospreys, there’s a few journalists on there who it looks like are allocated to regions. Simon Thomas mainly does articles about us.

At the risk of defending an O’s player on here - websites like WOL test multiple leading pictures for every new article and have systems that use the one that gets the most clicks after 3/4 hours.
It’s why Daily Mail articles always end up with a woman in a bikini on the front

I don't see why, top article on WOL, which is incidentally written by Mark is "The potential Lions who could make the squad without playing a minute of 6 nations rugby". Who could the accompanying picture be? Ross Morriarty? Ellis Jenkins? No it's Rhys Webb....

First this, and Steff on another thread, I think we need to be careful.
