So 3 losses, 1 win means we really need to go after the win against Scotland..for that reason alone, mass changes just arent going to happen.
Im quite pleased with the way our attacking game is going, but jeez our defence has gone to shit.
For next week I think they will select...
Halfpenny, Williams, Tompkins, Parkes, North, Biggar, Williams
Evans, Owens, Lewis, AWJ, Hill/Beard, Moriaty, Tipuric, Navidi
B: Elias, Carre, Brown, Rowland, Faletau, Webb, Evans, McNicol
Personally, Id go
Williams, Zammit, Watkins, Tompkins, North, Biggar, Williams
Evans, Elias, Lewis, AWJ, Rowlands, Moriaty, Tipuric, Navidi
B: Owens, Carre, Brown, Hill/Beard, Faletau, Webb, Evans, Halfpenny
further afield, Id love to see this team taking the field
Williams, Zammit, JD2, Tomokins, Adams, Anscombe, Williams
Evans, Elias, Francis, Hill, S Davies (I know,I know, but hes made for Pivacs game plan), Navidi, Tipuric, Faletau
B: Dee, Carre, Brown, Ball, Jenkins, Webb, Patchell, Lane

I don’t think there will be any changes next week unlesss forced by injury. The Scots looked decent today and in fairness this six nations has been alright for them. They did lose to Scotland and England but both were close games which could have gone the other way. They were helped by French stupidity today but they still had to win the game and looked good at times.
So, next weekend won’t be easy. I think Provac realises that a loss to Scotland followed by a hard summer tour will cause him some real issues and lose him support. So he won’t take any chances next week.

Owen Watkin is a good player and deserves a start or two along the way. He and Tompkins could make a decent partnership.

Yep, I only think they will change Ball if hes injured (and maybe Lewis), other than that I dont think he wil change anything
Whats the situation with Cory Hill.... when is he available?

I reckon he's done his shoulder so unlikely to feature again in this tournament, hopefully he's not out for the season as the Scarlets need his bulk in the 2nd row.
