@joe I think u mean Jason not me

Joe Murray Jul 7

What we need are players with the experience of beating Australia with the experience to make the right calls at the right time. @fmac, I think you mean not hearing the call big difference to not listening to the ref.

If we win it'll be a stroke of genius and make him one of the best coaches in the world... If not then he will have to make his name by guiding Wales to a 6 nations victory....

And whilst I'm on the topic of leadership. When playing in a team u look to players who can change a game in a second. Players who can always drag the rest kicking and screaming over the gain line and forward. Not so much players who know how to make decisions at penalty time or flipping a coin but players with the X factor who u can rely on to get u going forward. It's arguable that bod just isn't doing that anymore and other players like SOB or faletau or north can and that's who the players will look to at their time of need not someone with a proud and prestigious past

Name your side. There's only 2 maybe 3 positions you could argue about. #predictivetext has allot to answer for. It's a bold and daring call. You're right in the fact BOD has made allot of tackles, but on the other hand how many line breaks? And on a sour note how many penalties has he conceded for not listening to the call off the ref.....

If I could change anything in this team I would replace parling with gray, Murray for Phillips and tuilagi for Davies. And I would be tempted to move SOB to 6 and start Tipuric. It is a bit crazy taking out Bod when there is already a lack of leadership but I would say he hasn't performed well enough to merit a start but yes this could be irrelevant when his leadership is so valuable

@Harley. My friend, you know nothing about rugby.
Wake up ... There is no welsh, English Irish or Scottish, it's BRITISH and IRISH, and this is NOT the best side from Britain and Ireland by a country mile!

Chris Price Jul 7

See Harley is struggling with anything constructive to say!
Time will tell how poor a decision to play so many Welshmen this has been.

Gatland got this one wrong win lose or draw. Garland may win but dropping ur most experience centre just b4 ur last test. when he's on from 23 tackles no miss in 2 tests and has a leadership quality alone in the centre.if Gatland loses with such a talked about bad decision he'll really be putting his new job aspects on hold
