I agree on Swain deserving his place. In any squad there are always a few lucky & unlucky selections, but I don’t see much in the way of controversy.
The only one I think is probably a bit questionable is Nasirani who seems to have improved his selection prospects by being injured.
Lee-Warner & Powell both amongst the unlucky - but while our level of experience at lock is a bit on the low side, we do actually have a decent collection of players at a similiar level. Powell is obviously just not quite what the selectors are looking for. He is a really good, solid super rugby option but it seems he mustn’t offer enough at the next level.
