I like Mepham, but hes had a poor season and looks to me like a footballing defender who has lost his confidence - Lawrence did well against the Czech Republic and, if Wales decide to go with Ben Davies as one of their back three, I can see Mepham missing out.
As for giving a penalty for the sort of foul Mepham committed? Why not, maybe the thought of being doubly punished would make players think again before doing it.
