@mikethesnow
How come Young is available now, he's still at Wasps isn't he? Change in the WRU eligibility rules? -
@mikethesnow said in Wales v Fiji:
One change and a shuffle in the pack.
Basham to 8 for the injured Wainwright
Thomas Young in to 7 for his first test in 3 years (eligibility not ability, consistently good in English Premisership)Hardy in at 9
New centre partneship of J Williams and Josh Adams
Cuthbert recalled to the wing for the first time in 4 years, after good seasons in England
Liam Williams back to 15Won't even be close
Wales by 23-28
Can we nickname your #5 as ZZ Top? He is the most clean-shaven!

Christ Tshiunza could be one to watch too, potentially making his debut from the bench. Still only 19 and only played a handful of games in the English Premiership, but a lot of buzz from his performances at U20 level.
Has actually played for both England and Wales U20s, so not sure if getting him locked into red was a consideration in giving him a senior cap.

Seems strange not seeing A-W J on the team sheet. 😟 Agree a W coming up for your boys but some of the selections seem a bit odd. No real line out option in the back row? Adams is a good winger but I don’t see him having the distribution skills for centre.
Do you think this is Pivac giving a few guys a rest or a genuine “let’s have a look at how these guys go”?Adams went well at 15 for the Lions. He's a skilled athlete. Same was said of North.
Rest and let's have a look at the rest.

They should aim their sights higher and hope he's the next AWJ or Matfield.
