Wales v England

15 - B Murray

14 - M Llewellyn

13 - J Roberts (played well on the wing, but moving Llewellyn out makes more sense with his height)

12 - B Thomas

11 - E Mee

10 - J Evans

9 - T Williams (no point switching especially as bringing in a 10 he's played with)

8 - T Faletau

7 - J Morgan

6 - A Wainwright

5 - D Jenkins

4 - T Williams

3 - H Thomas

2 - E Dee

1 - N Smith

16 - G Thomas

17 - D Lake

18 - W John / K Assiratti (whomever Bomb decides!)

19 - W Rowlands

20 - T Reffell

21 - R Williams

22 - G Anscombe 

23 - E James

At one time Western  Mail leading sports  writer  was JBG Thomas, otherwise  known as the " SIXTH SELECTOR " ...( the big 5 were the selectors. then).

Maybe we should add Mr Peregoes toothed list 

Looks about right ATM...Roberts may stay wing ...otherwise looks accurate

Rhodri is a better passer & kicker so would get the nod from me. I have no idea who will get the nod at tight head but I would suggest Assiratti. I would start Lake - he is fit so start him. Wales need to start this game firing not find themselves out of it after 30 minutes. I would also have Edwards on the bench. Anscombe for unfortunately injuries and age have caught up with him. Finally I have my doubts about Reffell on the bench. England's back row are very direct & powerful. I would go with some size - Thomas of Gloucester or Plumtree.

They’re definitely on a high. It’s one that comes from being deserved winners of one match and that was against Italy with the dubious half-time oranges as Wil alluded to. The other two matches were donated by France and the multiple messed up try scoring chances plus Fin Russell’s 0 from 3 off the tee. Had his last one been from the correct spot, it would have gone through the posts.

Let them be on a high built on less than compelling evidence.

Let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill.

All good points. Joe has a great game, and on the wing too… I think we can go at England around the 13 channel with their chopping and changing at centre. But I agree I can see a straight switch of Hathaway for Tom. My worry their is Hathaway is also smallish and not great in defense so that would be two in the back 3 - Llewellyn would give some height on the opposite wing to Mee forcing England to kick down the middle instead which opens the field up for Blair. 

I want Jarrod to start so regardless of Tomos’s performances I honestly don’t see that playing Rhodri from the off is gonna dramatically improve things all told. But that’s just MHO. 

Rationale with Dee is that Lake is not gonna be fully fit as he’s still barely played and we know England are going to come with power late on. Also we need to secure possession early on. Of lake fluffs some early lineouts were screwed. 

Agree about Edwards on the bench (I’d forgotten him!). Although Anscombe’s experience late on could be useful. Very young backline otherwise. 

Reffell’s in there because if we lost Jac we’d have no breakdown presence and we need a 7 at all times. I considered both your options instead of Rowlands but his grunt could be useful and Teddy Williams can drop to six and wainwright to 8.
