A lot of Wales fans are very disappointed with one particular selection in their XV to play Scotland in their Six Nations opener on Saturday.
Supporters flocked to social media with many saying they’re ‘gutted’ that James Davies isn’t involved, with many stating he’s a better player than picked Josh Navidi.
Here’s what the fans are saying:
In what universe is Josh Navidi better than Justin Tipuric and James Davies https://t.co/qecwjEn8FJ

Great team. Rewarding those one form. Would have liked to see James Davies in there but other than that happy days https://t.co/ZvWSCDiuYw

Thrilled for Patchell, getting his first start at 10 for @WelshRugbyUnion. Not, actually, a bad XV, considering our injury list (although a distinct lack of James Davies). #WALvSCO cannot come quickly enough. https://t.co/xLHmTb7URO

james davies might be the new james hook, picked in the squad but will never be in the first XV #iamwales @SixNationsRugby

Considering we have about 346 injuries, that Welsh side is pretty decent. Don’t know what James Davies has to do to get a game though.

Very interesting side. I’m pleasantly surprised. Looks like we’ve picked our most physical back row. I’d have loved to see James Davies involved but they’re rewarding Navidi for his autumn performances.
