Wales v Fiji

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.

@mikethesnow
How come Young is available now, he's still at Wasps isn't he? Change in the WRU eligibility rules?Signed for Cardiff next season. Given dispensation to play this season.

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

I disagree with the "force" bit and with the red. Fortunately, it's only for 20 minutes.
It was clumsy, but hardly cynical.20 mins?

@mikethesnow Isn't that the law trial? 20-minute red cards, then a replacement player coming on?
