Davies will now line-up alongside Dan Biggar with Moriarty coming into the side at blindside flanker. The addition of Moriarty will make the back-row an all British and Irish Lions selection.

Head coach Wayne Pivac said both Davies and Moriarty have shown great "energy". He added Moriarty has earned a chance to start.

Both Tomos Williams and Aaron Wainwright will start on the bench alongside Ryan Elias, Rob Evans, Leon Brown, Will Rowlands, Jarrod Evans and Johnny McNicholl.

Wales will meet a familiar obstacle in Frances back rows as Shaun Edwards has been coaching the French defensive system.

Edwards was in charge of the Welsh defence for 12 years.

Second-row Jake Ball said this familiarity may work to Wales' advantage as they know what kind of techniques Shaun likes to bring in.
