BBC Sport website voters would recall centres George North and Nick Tompkins for Saturday’s Wooden Spoon decider against Italy in Cardiff.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The experienced pair were surprisingly left out of last weekend’s Six Nations defeat to France, replaced by Joe Roberts and Owen Watkin.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Fans who took part in our online poll would choose Mason Grady ahead of Cardiff team-mate Josh Adams on the wing.<\/span><\/p>\n

And you would start tight-head prop Dillon Lewis in place of Keiron Assiratti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dafydd Jenkins was a more popular choice than Adam Beard at lock, but a majority also voted for skipper Jenkins to remain in the open-side flanker role he was switched to for last weekend’s game. Beard, therefore, takes up the other place in the fans’ second row alongside Will Rowlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall Jenkins was in 91% of teams submitted, with scrum-half Tomos Williams (91%), wing Rio Dyer (96%) and number eight Aaron Wainwright (97%) all overwhelming choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tommy Reffell (82%) was your clear open-side choice, though he is a major injury doubt. As alternatives Alex Mann and Taine Basham each only attracted 7% of the vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

North (69%) polled significantly more than Roberts (22%) at outside centre despite the 23-year-old scoring on his Six Nation’s debut last weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision at inside centre was far closer with Tompkins polling 51% and Watkin 49%. <\/span><\/p>\n
