[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 512228, member: 13739"] I'm expecting a few changes for Wales. Rees' lineout throwing really cost us, so bring in Hibbard with Owens on the bench. Despite Bradley Davies playing well over the past two tests, Ian Evans should come into the second row for his rucking. This is a good opportunity to start Tipuric and possibly experiment with the possibility of playing Tips and Warbs together. Not sure whether Warbs should move to blindside or no.8. On the one hand Lydiate's tackling is important to the team, but on the other Having three players in the backrow who all get involved at the breakdown could be a good thing against Aus. In the backline, I think Phillips and Priestland should be changed. So team I'd like to see: Gethin Jenkins, Richard Hibbard, Adam Jones Ian Evans, Alun Wyn Jones Dan Lydiate/Sam Warburton, Justin Tipuric, Sam Warburton/Ryan Jones Rhys Webb, James Hook Ashley Beck, Jon Davies George North, Lee Halfpenny Alex Cuthbert Ken Owens, Paul James, Bradley Davies, Ryan Jones/Dan Lydiate, Mike Phillips, Rhys Priestland, Scott Williams. I don't think we'll see quite as many changes as that though. Rees will probably keep his place in the 22, although I hope not as a starter. Ian Evans will probably just come onto the bench, with Davies rewarded for his good performances. The backrow might stay the same, with Tips getting involved later on in the game. Phillips will probably retain his place, he always does, whilst they may stick with Priestland again with the excuse that his performances are improving. [/QUOTE]
