The eagle-eyed among you (i.e. not me) will note that there are but 18 names in that Dragons squad. Hoping to add Yaha in there once he's registered and all that.

Well that was not good. Is it the away bogey again or do we have a real issue in trying to squeeze Tomkins, Gigot and Langi in the same side together? Too many chefs and not enough... err.. sous-chefs?

Start by getting rid of Fatty Smith. Stevie Wonder could see he was/is/always will be a useless lump of lard.

At least they were good at one time. Smith has only ever looked good when he had a dominating team around him & it was peeing down to slow everyone to his level & his kicks skidded a long way. other than that there has never been anything in his locker.

We missed Bird and Bousquet, forwards looked soft.
Edwards is better off the bench.
Garcia and Julien were fantastic at the back end of last year in the back row, surely they should keep those positions.
Mead injury is not good. Before he got injured I was thinking that he needed to be in the centre with yaha on the wing ASAP but who knows now.
Having said all that we have changed 3 out of the 4 spine positions with only Mickey Mac remaining in the same position from last year. I am willing to give them till round 6ish before coming to final conclusions.
Don't like to see anybody go off like that, from the sidelines it was difficult to tell and I haven't seen the replay From his position on the stretcher, it looked like a groin ??
