BBC Sport online users wanted two changes to the Wales XV for Saturday's second Test against South Africa - both in the front row.
Head coach Wayne Pivac instead made only one, swapping Alex Cuthbert for wing Josh Adams.
You would have started hooker Dewi Lake, who was a try scorer off the bench in last weekend's last-gasp 32-29 first Test defeat.
Voters would also have chosen loose-head prop Wyn Jones.
Taulupe Faletau again received most votes - in 96.7% of selections.
Wing Louis Rees-Zammit - who scored two tries in the opening Test defeat - and full-back Liam Williams were also in more than nine out of 10 line-ups.
Captain Dan Biggar, Nick Tompkins, Josh Adams and George North were all clear-cut choices for you, as were locks Will Rowlands and Adam Beard.
Flankers Dan Lydiate and Tommy Reffell were also comfortably ahead of their rivals, as you backed Pivac's surprise first Test back row to go again.
In the front row, just over 50% of you voted for prop Jones ahead of Gareth Thomas who wore the number one jersey in Pretoria.
Ospreys hooker Lake received 56.7% backing to replace last week's starter Ryan Elias, with tight-head Dillon Lewis (82%) given a thumbs-up to start again.
Kieran Hardy was named as scrum-half by five out of 10 voters ahead of Tomos Williams (25.1%) and Gareth Davies (24.7%).
