from ScrumV - Dawes reflects on 40th Anniversary of the Tour

"Some men see things as they are and say 'Why?' I dream things that never were and say, 'Why not?'"

Fans at the Millenium may have been asking "WHY?" on Saturday, as the impressive Barbarian line up threatened to overwhelm the young Welsh side. WHY award caps for the summer jamboree ? WHY stage it here, when it was always going to be half full ? Most obviously - WHY does Henson get another chance at redemption ?
To which, the words of RFK might be relevant.
WHY NOT give Sam Warburton and his charges exposure to life in the fast lane ? Ryan Bevington would have learned more from Saturday's arm wrestle with Carl Haymans than he would in 6 months on the bench with the Ospreys. And if we are serious about competing against the best this Autumn, WHY NOT see if our Gav is worth a run. If he can face 80 minutes in close contact with Monsieur Bastareau's thighs, then he's on the way to being ready.
