Wales v Uruguay: Predicted 23

With a week until Wales’ World Cup opener against Uruguay, Warren Gatland will be gearing his players up for what should be a comfortable winning start to their campaign.

While victory is more a case of how much by, rather than if, there are still some selection decisions to be made.

With a crunch match against England the following week, many players will be keen to put down a marker for the fixture against the hosts at Twickenham.

Meanwhile others will be aiming to prove their fitness following long injury layouts.

And then there are squad players who will aim to make the most of their opportunity and impress against the South Americans.

Another key point is qualification from the group. While England and Australia are the important matches, a big points difference against Uruguay could be vital to getting out the ‘Group of Death’.

So with all that in mind, here is the team I believe Warren Gatland should go with.
