The two stars who can bring some dynamism to Wales' failing Six Nations attack as they finally get chance to play together

Of the seven changes Wayne Pivac has made for Wales' final Six Nations clash with Italy, the selections of Willis Halaholo and Johnny McNicholl have gone a little under the radar.

Alun Wyn Jones coming back in for his 150th Welsh cap has invariably grabbed the spotlight. But, with Wales' attack struggling at the moment through a myriad of minor details, the addition of Halaholo and McNicholl could open different possibilities for what Wales can do with the ball. Such are their respective Wales careers to date, they've only managed 32 minutes on the pitch at the same time in a red jersey.

Qualifying for Wales on residency after the 2019 World Cup, the pair looked to be two exciting attacking weapons for Pivac and Stephen Jones to utilise. However, injuries and the form of others has meant that neither has really had much of a run so far - each winning just nine caps in the past three years.
