[QUOTE="MojoPin, post: 745142, member: 71698"] What are the thoughts on selection for this match? There were comments from Jonathan Davies on Scrum V that Wales really need to field their 1st XV against Uruguay and to be honest I'd agree for the most part. They need a run out and we need to set a marker for the other teams to match. For me, we need to make sure that Liam Williams, Gareth Davies and Samson Lee get a chance to stretch their legs with the best side we can put out so they get used to it. Davies especially has some big hopes resting on his shoulders and the Italy match wasn't really an opportunity for him to stretch his legs too much considering the circumstances in which he came on - could tell he was just trying to create a solid, reliable platform rather than go all-out, I think. One thing I'd change though would be to leave Cuthbert out and give Eli Walker a shot - maybe have him on the left with North on the right wing. Other possibility would be having him and Cuthbert on and move North to the centre with Scott Williams, and let Walker and Cuthbert duke it out for the starting spot. I'd like to see Phillips have a spot off the bench too personally, but also might be good to give Lloyd Williams a shot. Tough call. [/QUOTE]
