“We think Dan is the form six in the competition and has been throughout the season,” said Pivac.
“He brings a wealth of experience and he’s back playing some of his best rugby.
“We had a good look at some young players in the autumn and we know what they can do and what their work-ons are. Clear messages have been sent to those who missed out.
“James and Shane were in our discussions and both players have been spoken to.
“With Shane, that was an interesting discussion. There was a choice there between the experienced player in form (Lydiate) and the younger man.
“We feel Josh deserves an opportunity. James did well when he came in and has a big future but Josh is that bit further ahead in his physicality and we’re going to need that.”
If we look at the previous Stats then Wales Rugby team finish fifth in the 2020 Six Nations tournament and win only one game against italy.
