Warren Gatland has made one change to Wales side for Saturday’s Six Nations game in Ireland, but not the switch BBC Sport website voters wanted to see to the team narrowly beaten by England.

You wanted Will Rowlands rather than Adam Beard in the second row as your one change in Dublin – Gatland has replaced fly-half Ioan Lloyd with fit again Sam Costelow.

In our online poll, 61% of voters would have kept Lloyd, with his Scarlets team-mate only favoured by 31%.

Beard keeps his place in Gatland’s line-up, but only polled 47% in your selection. Rowlands – a second-half replacement at Twickenham after missing the one-point loss against Scotland following the birth of his child – received 62% backing with skipper Dafydd Jenkins your other lock (87%)

Back-row pair Aaron Wainwright and Tommy Reffell, along with centres George North and Nick Tompkins, were in more than 90% of teams submitted.

Rio Dyer was your most popular wing choice with 89% backing. Josh Adams (75%) also makes your side, while Mason Grady (36%) misses out.

Gatland has had tight-head prop issues before the game against the defending champions, with injuries for Leon Brown and Archie Griffin. Like the Wales head coach you chose to stick with Keiron Assiratti (53%) in the number three jersey ahead of Dillon Lewis (36%).
