BBC Sport website users stuck to their guns, selecting the same side they had wanted to see in Dublin for Saturday's second Six Nations game against Scotland.
You would have liked to have seen a fit Willis Halaholo at centre alongside Jonathan Davies.
Ross Moriarty was again the most popular back-row choice (89.42%).
Uncapped Ospreys flanker Jac Morgan, handed a first cap in Wayne Pivac's official side, received 11%.
Online voters would have partnered Moriarty with Ellis Jenkins and Taine Basham against the Scots - and also favoured Josh Adams in his more usual wing position rather than centre where he played alongside Nick Tompkins in the 29-7 opening defeat against Ireland.
Adams though is unfit with Pivac drafting in Owen Watkins at centre and Alex Cuthbert on the wing. Cuthbert received votes in only 8% of your teams while Watkin was favoured by 24% of voters.
Captain Dan Biggar remained the most popular option at outside-half, but he was the first choice 10 in only 78% of your teams, compared with 92% a week ago.
The hooker position also become far less clear cut. Ryan Elias still topped he poll but with only 46.86% of votes compared to Dewi Lake's 39.52%.
Osprey Lake, who made his debut in Dublin as a replacement, received only 9.02% in your selection before the opening game when Elias was starting hooker in more than 76% of submitted teams.
Wing Louis Rees-Zammit remains the most popular choice, backed by 94.87% of voters.
You can still pick your XV but your selections won't be counted towards the result - don't forget to share your picks on social media using #bbcrugby.
