Theres probably a little way to go before we've the full picture, but this seems a good time to look at how we're looking for next season.

Fullbacks: Halfpenny, Fish, Czekaj

Wings: Cuthbert, Robinson, T. Williams

Centres: Evans, Hewitt, O. Williams, Allen, Smith

Outside Halves: Patchell, Tovey, G. Davies

Scrum halves: Williams, Jones

Looseheads: G. Jenkins, Hobbs, T. Davies, N. Trevett, P. Tamba

Hookers: Rees, Dacey, R. Williams, Breeze

Tightheads: Andrews, Filise, Bourrust, Harford

Second rows: B. Davies, Down, Reed, Paulo, Cook, Normandale

Flankers: Warburton, Navidi, E. Jenkins, Young, Watts-Jones

No.8s: Pretorius, Copeland, Hamilton

Arrivals: Matthew Rees (Turks), Gethin Jenkins (Toulon), Miles Normandale (Cardiff Met)

Departures: Jamie Roberts (Racing Metro), Michael Paterson (Sale), Tom James (Exeter), Ceri Sweeney (Exeter), Campese Maa'fu (Nottingham), Andy Kyriacou (retirement), Cory Hill (Moseley)

Do point out any errors in the above. A few other players may well be gone - I cant really see us keeping Petru Tamba for example - but with no confirmation I've kept them in there for now.

Theres also been no confirmation of which academy players have been promoted to the main squad - but I'm assuming that the excellent Wales U.20 captain Ellis Jenkins is one. 

Oh, and I'm assuming that Rob Lewis isnt coming back....

As for rumours... well theres one on the Dragqueens forum about Tovey going back there. On twatter, journalists have stated that we're looking at recruiting in the front row, centre and back row. Which makes sense.

There are only 4 overseas players in the squad as it stands, so theres some room for bringing in a couple more - we should probably forget about signing any All Blacks though.

In my opinion, we really need to add some scrum half and wing cover but maybe that job can be done by younger players. We also look to have a lot of quick openside type flankers. Perhaps one will need to move on?

Anything to add?
