Ticking a box and getting everyone a game. At least Will Jordan is in his best position. Would rather see Tangitau wearing 14 though

Giving Wales a collective orgasm.
The injuries certainly limited the options in the 23 based on who was left in the squad.
That is the backline Cully was predicting, except Reece and Jordan swapping roles.

I’m glad razor managed to get his 6 Crusaders on the bench. So inspiring
His way of saying goodbye?
That backline is a wasted opportunity for me. Looking forward to 2026, we aren’t going to learn anything useful from ALB and Rieko.
One could argue that it gives DMac a great chance to show at 10, and Love gets a go at 15 with experience all around, but hard to see anything done for cohesion.
And, if the backline DOES set the house on fire, where does that leave us going forward?

Give ourselves an uppercut and remind ourselves it’s only Wales
Two players that I would love to see in the ABs are Tangitau and Flanders. A fit Flanders is better than Parker IMO and Tangitau is just a gun, noting he has a bit to work on defensively.
I think this guy exists just to wind @Tim up
Well, this side is a real fullstop on the end of the season.
Gives the vibe of waking up after smashing an entire pack of darts on a night out. Just a bit grim.

Jesus, we are a real mess aren't we?
What are we hoping to achieve with that selection? It's just 'make sure everyone gets a go' day in what is supposed to be a high performance environment, when we have not made the progress we need to and have a heap of unanswered questions.
Another wasted opportunity
