"In the backs, the back three picks itself, I think George North returns straight in at No.13. The half-backs pick themselves too." Fellow intellectual Sean Holley rushed to state he would have picked Morgan.
Somewhere else, Hook said the choice to leave out one more Osprey as Rhys Webb was brutal. "It's truly hard on Rhys Webb, he's been going great the entire season," he said.
"Ryan Conbeer is another who can count himself unfortunate. In any case, the back-three is major areas of strength for truly Wales, so that is a difficult decision."
