In the pack, most would-be selectors are opting for Ken Owens and Tadhg Furlong in the front row. Maro Itoje is making most XVs in the second row, and Tom Curry and Toby Faletau are both being selected by pundits and former players alike.
Quinnell's XV makes a slight change, in going with Liam Williams in the 14 jersey and Louis Rees-Zammit on the left wing. Conor Murray and Dan Biggar are his half-backs with his pack the exact same as Sean O'Brien selected, a few weeks back.

Toby Faletau (Wales)As for Rory Best, he gave his vote of confidence for Jamie George to start in the No.2 jersey, while he switched Tom Curry to blindside so he could start Justin Tipuric at openside. The beauty of Best XV selections is that they can continue, unabated, even after Warren Gatland names hus touring squad.
