Wales 15,England 10,Ireland 9,Scotland 3


I think Ireland can be happy with its representation, most of the potential candidates made the squad, with Rory Best the obvious exception.


The team has the potential to have a good balanced between England Wales and Ireland, but don't be surprised if its more than half welsh.

I'd have liked to have seen Madigan picked as a third no.10 who can play elsewhere. I'm sorry Zebo isn't going as he's exciting to watch. The selections of Hartley & Stevens leave me cold. No Rory Best either. Too many crooked darts? Still there will be replacements even before the tour starts I bet.

Surely only because of Toulon and his not being available at the start? I think - like Robshaw - he will join the party when the inevitable injuries occur.

A few people saying Gatland likes big hookers - and he was one himself


Did he have issues with two Hookers under 17 St ?


Gatland admitted they discussed this extensively.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
