Wales squad selector: Your starting XV to face Scotland

BBC online voters would shake-up the pack and make a change at scrum-half for Saturday's Six Nations game in Scotland.

Despite Alun Wyn Jones being declared fit, you want to see Dafydd Jenkins pack down at Murrayfield along with Dillon Lewis and Tommy Reffell.

And you would hand Rhys Webb the nine jersey after he was a replacement in the 34-10 defeat against Ireland.

Warren Gatland names his side to face Scotland at 12:00 GMT on Thursday.

Wales' most-capped player Jones, 37, was originally said to be unavailable for game two of the championship in Edinburgh, but even after he was declared fit voters continued to prefer 20-year-old Exeter lock Jenkins as Adam Beard's partner in the second row.

Jenkins came on for the injured Jones on the opening weekend and three others who took to the Principality Stadium pitch also did well enough to convince users of the BBC Sport website to give them a chance in their starting line-ups.

Scrum-half Webb received 55% backing ahead of Tomos Williams with 32%.

Leicester flanker Reffell was named in 45% of teams at open-side flanker compared with only 22% for last week's choice Justin Tipuric.

Lewis was a half-time injury replacement for tight-head prop Tomas Francis whose fitness has been in doubt for Murrayfield. Lewis polled 38.8%, Francis 36.4%.

The choice at loose-head was even tighter. Wyn Jones (33.8%) narrowly got your nod to continue ahead of Rhys Carre (33.2%) and Gareth Thomas (32.8%).

Dan Biggar remains the first choice at outside-half in 59% of selections, with the majority opting for no change of wings or centres and keeping Liam Williams at full-back.

More than than 74% of voters would prefer to see Williams in the 15 jersey compared with Leigh Halfpenny (20.4%) who was a late withdrawal against Ireland because of a back spasm.

You can still pick your XV but your selections will not be counted towards the result - remember to share your picks on social media using #bbcrugby.
