The best Wales XV for the Six Nations now, whoever the coach is

Wales are preparing for the Six Nations. They play their opening match against Ireland. Some players are injured and some stand more chance of playing. The best Wales XV for this match is the one that is most likely to be selected.

Liam Williams is back from injury and could be in the Wales starting XV for the Six Nations match with the Irish. Leigh Halfpenny has had many mishaps in recent times.

Louis Rees-Zammit is an exceptional player who can't be left out of the starting line-up for the Six Nations.

George North impressed against Australia and Argentina. Wales need to supply him with more front foot ball to improve their attacking game.

Joe Hawkins played well at inside centre against Australia. Nick Tompkins is back in the Wales team after being ruled out of Saturday's game through playing rugby in England.

Josh Adams started at full-back for Wales against Ireland on Saturday. Alex Cuthbert and Rio Dyer could also play there. Johnny McNicholl could play wing.

Dan Biggar is back from injury and should be fit for the start of the Six Nations. Gareth Ansombe played well before he was injured against Australia.

Tomos Williams had a good autumn. He was injured early on against Australia. His performance against Argentina was high.

Gareth Thomas was Wales' best player in their final three games. He is now the top loosehead player for the Six Nations.

Ken Owens is playing for Wales at the age of 35. He's re-establishing himself as the top prop after injury. Wales have the best XV for the Six Nations now.

Dillon Lewis has been given the No. 3 shirt by Wales for the last three Tests. Tomas Francis will have to respond to that.

Adam Beard impressed against Australia and Argentina. He is a good lineout option and does a lot of unseen work.

Alun Wyn Jones is expected to start for Wales against Ireland on February 4th. Will Rowlands had an operation after damaging a shoulder playing for the Wales team against Argentina on November 12. The old warrior rolled back the years against Australia with a performance that belied his age. He made 39 metres from his seven runs and 10 passes.

Jac Morgan has been outstanding for Wales in the autumn internationals. He has also been a regular in post-match mixed zone. Whoever is Wales coach for the Six Nations, there will be something wrong if Morgan is not lining up in their opener.

Justin Tipuric is captain of Wales. He has played well against Argentina and New Zealand. Tiparic will be a prominent figure all the way through to the World Cup.

Taulupe Faletau has been outstanding for Wales in the Six Nations. Dan Biggar believes he will be difficult to replace.
