Wales include Rob Evans of Scarlets ahead of Gethin Jenkins in front row, and some old faces return in form of Tom James, who has not played for Wales for five years, and Jonathan Davies, who is reunited in the centre with Jame Roberts. Sam Warburton is also included, despite not having played much rugby since being injured in November 2015. And the bench is full of experience, including Jenkins, Dan Lydiate and Alex Cutherbert, with 300+ caps between them.
