Captain: Sam Warburton

Can't get my head around the Hartley decision. Such a liability.

Oh well, I'm sure Gatland knows what he's doing. Your thoughts?

Farrell? Really? You can let Halfpenny kick and have someone like Flood whose gameplay is actually good!?!? Farrell's gameplay is shocking!!! Plus he can't handle pressure, which he proved against Toulon at the weekend :/. Gatland even wanted Wilkinson.. Daddy got him the place it seems

Matt Stevens I mean.. Is that a joke? Really? Best should have gone instead of Hartley.

Sam is an ok captain, I'm happy with that. 6 tigers players, can't complain
