There are some positions in the Wales rugby team where Warren Gatland might feel he has a cast of thousands vying for the shirt.
Openside flanker is one. Wayne Pivac handed the No. 7 jersey to eight different players during his 34-game reign — Justin Tipuric, James Davies, James Botham, Taine Basham, Thomas Young, Jac Morgan, Josh Navidi and Tommy Reffell, for those who are putting together Christmas quizzes — but there are still more quality players in the position who are out there, to the point where any openside not banging in 8/10 performances every week can forget playing for Wales any time soon.
Such depth isn’t apparent across the board. Of course, it isn't.
