It’s been a busy weekend in Welsh rugby…
The trial match took place on Friday evening at the Liberty Stadium and you were all making your feelings known, positive and negative.
A team has been selected to tour one of the toughest places on earth and you’ve had your say.
The man that won’t go away, you’ve been talking about Gavin Henson again this week.
Let’s dive in, here’s what you’ve been saying about Welsh rugby this week…

3 No6′s, 2 No8′s and No 7′s. Bit unbalanced. I’d have Coombs over Turnbull. Also 4 Tightheads and 2 Loose?”

Ellis Jenkins deserved a chance #onfire”
Samantha Farrant Lloyd on Facebook
“Great news for Cory Allen but what about Josh Navidi?”
Stuart Claire Gilly on Facebook
“Can’t believe Coombes wasn’t named in the squad.”
Jacqueline George on Facebook
“Glad to see Gareth Davies in the team, well deserved.”
John Jones on Facebook
“Some exciting new talent. All about winning tidy ball. Our backs look devastating particularly when the game breaks up. Well done for giving Matthew Morgan a chance.”
Lee Felton on Facebook
“Hook taking someone else’s place unfortunately, big chance for him last night but failed to deliver…..again!”
Before the squad could be picked there was the small matter of the trial match on Friday, here’s what you thought about it all..
So what do we make of the trial in general? Did it work? Would you have changed anything?

mix up the teams so there’s a real competition for places. That game just looked like a training session.”

think it should have been done as east vs west and mix the teams up.”

complete waste of time and players injured added to a woeful event. Regions and clubs have to pick up pieces.”

didn’t see a real benefit all one sided, just hope the injuries are nothing major.”

Some players had a chance to stand out but was it worth it? #casualties”

it proved we need an A side with regular meaningful games. Otherwise a good run out and a chance for a few surprise inclusions.”
After the trial game on Friday, Warren Gatland admitted that Gavin Henson’s absence cost him dearly.

Why Gavin Henson could not go to South Africa
Dai Morris on Facebook
“It appears to me he has been used as a political pawn. His predicament has been used as a warning to other players based outside Wales that their selection may be in jeopardy.”
Tom Crompton on Facebook
“Gavin Henson can change the game, we need people like him on the bench, he’ s a big game player.”
Gareth John on Facebook
“He’ll be there in November, still the most talented back in northern hemisphere, the guys got it all!”
Lyndon Williams on Facebook
“I always put talent 1st but if I was picking the squad he’d be a tough choice based on past behavior. Not exactly a ‘team’ guy. Another flawed talent.”
