Rugby World Cup 2023: Wales v Argentina |
|---|
Venue: Stade de Marseille, Marseille Date: Saturday, 14 October Kick-off: 16:00 BST |
Coverage: Live BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC Sounds, BBC Sport website & app; live text commentary on BBC Sport website & app. |
With the exception of injured Taulupe Faletau, BBC Sport website voters want the sides that started victories over Australia and Fiji to line-up for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final.
You would switch Aaron Wainwright to number eight in place of Faletau, with Tommy Reffell coming in as blind-side flanker against Argentina in Marseille.
Over 80% backed Liam Williams at full-back, despite injury concerns.
And Dan Biggar was the overwhelming choice to return at 10 after his own injury problems.
Gareth Anscombe, forced out of the win over Georgia during warm-up, remains your ideal number two choice at outside-half, despite Sam Costelow playing the whole of last weekend's 43-19 victory in Nantes.
Ryan Elias returns to your front row, chosen as hooker by 59.84% of voters ahead of Dewi Lake (29.31%), who started against the Georgians.
Louis Rees-Zammit, Wales' leading try scorer at the tournament, was narrowly your most popular pick, in 98.74% of selections, with George North (98.07%) and skipper Jac Morgan (97.69%) receiving only marginally less support.
Wainwright, centre Nick Tompkins, scrum-half Gareth Davies, props Gareth Thomas and Tomas Francis, as well as lock Will Rowland were also in more than 90% of teams submitted.
Biggar and second-row Adam Beard enjoyed more than 80% approval.
You can still pick your XV but your selections will not be counted towards the result - remember to share your picks on social media using #bbcrugby.
