A host of players who didn't even make the British & Irish Lions tour last summer would be in the Test team now, according to Wales Online.
Their selection, which features just two England players, would also only have two players who were part of Warren Gatland's test team to take on the Springboks.
It just shows how much can change in rugby in the space of nine months.
Check out their full selection below.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
