The majority of BBC Sport website voters would bring Taulupe Faletau straight into Wales XV for Saturday's Six Nations game against England.
They also hope to see Josh Adams back on the wing when Wayne Pivac makes his team announcement today at 11:30 GMT.
With the majority of votes cast prior to the release of Louis Rees-Zammit from the squad almost 97% of you would have picked the Gloucester flyer.
Alex Cuthbert was the only other wing who polled double figures.
At centre Jonathan Davies received backing in over 71% of teams submitted, with Nick Tompkins rated second (46.7%) ahead of Willis Halaholo (39.3%) and Owen Watkin (36.8%).
Full-back Liam Williams along with half-back pair Dan Biggar and Tomos Williams were clear-cut choices - as was the front five.
In the back row Faletau received over 77% backing and you would switch Ross Moriarty to blind-side to accommodate the Bath and British and Irish Lions veteran at Twickenham.
Taine Basham is again your choice as open-side flanker.
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.
