The last-minute Wales team selection decisions as new boy set for biggest night of career

Wales are a side that are desperate for some consistency in selection and head coach Wayne Pivac has regularly suggested that he'll be aiming to provide that in the coming weeks.

Centre Nick Tompkins has also admitted that it has been tough being part of a Welsh midfield that is constantly chopping and changing. He hopes to build a relationship with George North but also pointed out that it is down to the players to perform and give Pivac no reason to ponder their place in the side.

Pivac will be keen to keep the ship steady but there will be a few selection dilemmas that will be occupying his mind before the team is announced on Thursday.

There are question marks over just how fit Josh Adams is. The thought of leaving a finisher like him out of the side is almost unfathomable but he didn't really make a mark on the first Test.

He had a huge impact when he was drafted into the side during the Six Nations and there would have been few
