When Warren Gatland names his Wales side for Sunday’s Six Nations game against France, BBC Sport website voters want to see three changes from the team beaten in Ireland.

You would give wing Mason Grady, prop Dillon Lewis and lock Will Rowlands their first starts of this Championship against Les Bleus in Cardiff.

Josh Adams, Keiron Assiratti and Adam Beard are the players you would leave out.

Outside-half Sam Costelow, who returned for the 31-7 defeat in Dublin, gets your vote of confidence ahead of Ioan Lloyd in the 10 jersey.

Lloyd had been the fans selection for the trip to the Aviva Stadium but for France he is named in only 43% of teams submitted, compared to Costelow’s 52% approval.

Rio Dyer was the most popular wing choice (91%) with Grady selected in 60% of submissions and Cardiff team-mate Adams polling only 49%.

Back-row forwards Aaron Wainwright (97%) and Tommy Reffell (95%) were the most popular choices, with centre George North, full-back Cameron Winnett and skipper Dafydd Jenkins also included in over 90% of selections.

Jenkins was your number one choice in the second row, with Rowlands in 70% of teams and Beard just 37%.

In the front row, prop Gareth Thomas (77%) and hooker Elliot Dee (82%) were clear-cut choices, while for the number three jersey Lewis polled 51% and previous starter Assiratti 36%.
