Round 3.

Wales have made two changes to their starting XV to face France in Cardiff on Saturday with Gareth Davies and Ross Moriarty coming into the side.

Davies will line-up at half-back alongside Dan Biggar in the only change in the backline. Hadleigh Parkes and Nick Tompkins partner in the midfield with Josh Adams, George North and Leigh Halfpenny comprising the back-three.

Moriarty comes into the side at blindside flanker to set-up an all British & Irish Lions back-row. Jake Ball and captain Alun Wyn Jones continue in the second-row with Wyn Jones, Ken Owens and Dillon Lewis named in the front-row.

“Gareth was unavailable round one and came off the bench last time out so he is full of energy and we are looking forward to him bringing his game on Saturday,” said Wales head coach Wayne Pivac.

“Ross has impressed off the bench so far and brought a lot of energy and communication as well so he deserves an opportunity to start.”
