BBC Sport website users have given their backing to Rio Dyer to keep his place on the wing for Saturday's second autumn international against Argentina.
Dyer was chosen in 49% of teams and was narrowly your first choice at right wing, ahead of Josh Adams (45%).
Adams remains one of the fitness doubts before head coach Wayne Pivac reveals his selection at 12.30 GMT Thursday.
Leigh Halfpenny would have been your choice at full-back before he was ruled out again to face Los Pumas.
Like Pivac that leaves you with a problem. Gareth Anscombe, who filled in at 15 against the All Blacks, had been your leading choice to return to outside-half (52%), with Rhys Priestland polling half that number of votes (26%) and Sam Costelow 21%.
A majority of BBC Sport online voters were already calling for Dan Lydiate to replace Tommy Reffell at blind-side even before news that the Leicester flanker was ruled out by injury.
Lydiate takes his place in your back-row alongside skipper Justin Tipuric and Taulupe Faletau who was again the most popular selection, in 95.89% of teams.
And the majority of you would give the rest of the side a second chance to show they can improve on the 55-23 hammering by the All Blacks, with no changes to the front five, the midfield or at scrum-half where Tomos Williams still commands 71% support.
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.
