Wales likely to consider four changes to the team as Basham and Jones under pressure

Wales’ performance in the Guinness Six Nations clash against England at Twickenham attracted what theatre critics refer to as 'mixed reviews'.

Many were impressed by the second-half rally that saw Wayne Pivac’s team out-score their opponents three tries to one.

More still were dismayed by the lamentable opening 44 minutes from the visitors which allowed England to build a 17-0 lead without touching any great heights themselves.

So the head coach faces a tricky selection for the game with Grand Slam-chasing France in Cardiff a week on Friday.

The assumption is Pivac will not be satisfied with all aspects of the team effort, but would changing personnel bring about an improvement or would it risk the element of continuity every side needs to prosper?

Are there any players who might come into Pivac’s squad?

MARK ORDERS assesses how the coach’s options and how his selection might go.

The latest Six Nations headlines

There won’t be much going on here in terms of changes.

Alex Cuthbert marked his 50th cap by banging in one of the finest displays of his career, powering through tackles and showing a relentless appetite for hard work. England struggled to deal with him and the official draft of stats suggested the wing had made 176 metres from 14 carries.

For those in any doubt, that's impressive.

Louis Rees-Zammit is just going to have to bide his time in terms of winning back his place.

On the other wing, Josh Adams also grew into the game after a quiet first half.

By the closing minutes, he was troubling England every time he had the ball.

Liam Williams will be disappointed to have picked up a yellow card, and Wales do have Johnny McNicholl as a full-back option, but, on balance, Williams should keep his place.
