Gloucester wing Josh Hathaway was the only specialist squad option remaining but Sherratt has opted to utilise Roberts out of position and put Saracens centre Tompkins on the bench.

Wainwright will pack down in the back row instead of Tommy Reffell who drops down to the replacements bench, which also includes Saracens centre Nick Tompkins.

Gatland's decision to replace centre Nick Tompkins - who briefly left the field through injury - with a novice wing in Josh Hathaway, rather than an established centre in Ben Thomas, was horribly exposed for the opening try.

Scarlets centre James, who has made three previous Wales replacement Test appearances, partners Nick Tompkins in another new centre combination with Ben Thomas staying at fly-half.

The visitors were let down by handling errors, with one from centre Nick Tompkins following a Dupont heavy hit, almost leading to a try for flanker Paul Boudehent.
