[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 745202, member: 13739"] I think Wales will put out their strongest side. I know it'll mean that we'll essentially be putting out our first choice side in all four pool games (maybe a few changes here and there), but we need to hit the ground running against England, and giving the side a good run-out v Uruguay is therefore important imo. The intensity won't be there from Uruguay, so injuries should be unlikely. There's a few areas of interest regarding selection. Is Gatland considering a Warbs+Tips backrow against England? Selection for this game might hint at what he's planning. Who's our first choice 9? Gareth Davies is my bet, but I wouldn't be surprised to see any of the three start v England, thus in this game too. Has Cuthbert been given his last chance? Has Ken Owens done enough in the warm-ups to start ahead of Scott Baldwin? I was underwhelmed with Owens, he's usually more accurate with his throwing, and more involved in the loose. That could have opened the door for Baldwin to start. This is what I'd pick: 01 Gethin Jenkins 02 Scott Baldwin 03 Samson Lee 04 Luke Charteris 05 Alun-Wyn Jones 06 Sam Warburton 07 Justin Tipuric 08 Taulupe Faletau 09 Gareth Davies 10 Dan Biggar 11 Eli Walker 12 Jamie Roberts 13 Scott Williams 14 George North 15 Liam Williams 16 Ken Owens 17 Paul James 18 Tomas Francis 19 Bradley Davies 20 Dan Lydiate 21 Mike Phillips 22 Rhys Priestland 23 Matthew Morgan/Halam Amos.
