The Wales team the fans want Wayne Pivac to pick today

Wales rugby fans have had their say and want Josh Adams at full-back and Gareth Anscombe at fly-half to face Argentina on Saturday.

We asked you to pick your side to bounce back from the hiding at the hands of the All Blacks last weekend, and you answered in your droves.

Josh Adams gets the fans' nod at full-back, Anscombe is preferred to start at No. 10 - where he was named to start before Leigh Halfpenny withdrew from injury and full-back cover was needed. Rhys Priestland, who started against New Zealand as playmaker, is omitted from the fans' selection, with Sam Costelow the fly-half cover on the bench.

In the back-row, Justin Tipuric moves to his preferred No. 7 position, with Dan Lydiate chosen at No. 6.

It is thought Adams may actually be struggling to be fit for the match, with Rees-Zammit likely to play full-back and Alex Cuthbert expected to come in on the wing.

Here is the Wales team the fans have chosen to face Los Pumas at the Principality Stadium in the hosts' second autumn Test:

Wales: 15. Josh Adams, 14. Louis Rees-Zammit, 13. George North, 12. Nick Tompkins, 11. Rio Dyer, 10. Gareth Anscombe, 9. Tomos Williams, 1. Nicky Smith, 2. Ken Owens, 3. Tomas Francis, 4. Will Rowlands, 5. Adam Beard, 6. Dan Lydiate, 7. Justin Tipuric, 8. Taulupe Faletau.

Bradley Roberts, Gareth Thomas, Dillon Lewis, Christ Tshiunza and Jac Morgan make up the forwards cover, as decided by the fans, while backs cover includes Kieran Hardy and Costelow. Leigh Halfpenny was named on the bench but has since been ruled out by the Wales camp with a hamstring issue, while Tommy Reffell will miss out after a bang to the ribs.
