Well hope you enjoy the match .. your thoughts would get a lot of support in many groups of Welsh supporters. There is also nothing sad about wishing Argentina success and for them to win.

I personally do not wish that outcome but I will also say that I also do not accept that changes to the playing personell wont give the potential to alter the balance of how Wales play.

Only the 10 and 15 in the backline are the only ones who have not played regional rugby at the Scarlets. That gives an inherant style change to how they interact when the pressure is applied.

So I personally will watch with great interest to see what impact, if any, the changes make to this Wales team and their on field real time decisions.

Enjoy the day
It's a limited style change without changing the 10 imo.

I agree, but it is a change and potentially a chance to see a differant 10 during the match to see what that brings.

If a replacement 10 comes on when we're 20pts behind and DOESN'T throw a few miracle passes, I don't know why he's there at all. I was feeling a bit smug about predicting exactly what happened when Davies came on, but I don't blame him at all. We had to try something.
That said, I've no issues with the squad rotation, so long as Davies gets a crack against Japan. Anscombe deserves his chance.
