Six Nations: Wales v France

Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff Date: Friday, 11 February Kick-off: 20:00 GMT

Coverage: Watch live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and online from 19:30 GMT; listen on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru; text commentary on BBC Sport website and app. Watch highlights online & Scrum V, Sunday, 13 March 18:00 GMT and later on demand.

A majority of BBC Sport website voters would like to see Josh Navidi come straight back into the Wales side to face France on Friday.

The Cardiff flanker is in line for a recall after five months out injured.

A possible back row place for Seb Davies in Wayne Pivac's official announcement at 14:00 GMT on Wednesday received just 1.29% of your votes.

Your one other change after defeat by England would be Jonathan Davies back at outside centre.

Davies was named in the 13 shirt in 34.58% of your teams, ahead of the man who wore the jersey at Twickenham, Owen Watkin (29.47%).

In teams submitted by 06:00 GMT on Wednesday morning 58.06% of voters opted to keep Nick Tompkins at inside centre.

Only 20.66% voted to recall Louis Rees-Zammit on the right wing with Alex Cuthbert, so impressive against England, the number one choice in 42.63% of your teams. Josh Adams was left wing in 50.96% of online selections.

Navidi polled 45.01% at open-side flanker in your back row, which would also include Taine Basham on the blind-side (51.53%) and number eight Taulupe Faletau, who with a 94.70% share of the vote was the most popular player in your chosen XVs for Wales' fourth game in this year's Six Nations championship.
