Itoje, Curry, Pollock and Smith off the bench? oof good luck Wales

I'm not convinced with Steward at 15. He's rock under the high ball and hits hard in the collisions but can he make those one on one tackles - ie actually get to them. Plus having the turing circle of an oil tanker is a problem.
Other than that I'm pretty happy with that squad. The bench should make a significant difference later in the day.

That’s way too generous

Feyi-Waboso out and Tom Roebuck in as a straight swap. Shame about F-W but Roebuck is a good replacement and I'm glad that Borthwick didn't shuffle the whole back line around just to gt Daly in somewhere.
