WALES coach Steve Hansen will make a number of changes in the team this week for Saturday's game against Fiji at the Millennium Stadium.
Wales' 40-3 victory over Romania at Wrexham on Friday night was less than satisfactory given that two of the four tries came in the last six minutes.
It was the first game in a long 12-month haul for Wales when they will play at least 21 internationals.
So there were obviously going to be signs of rustiness and a lack of teamwork at the first time of asking, and problems with players blending.
But despite that there were signs that the first team Hansen has put out this season contained flaws.
"There will be some changes," admitted Hansen, adding: "There is no guarantee everyone will get a game," meaning some in the 30-man squad are going to miss out.
The front five lacked the necessary firepower to trouble the bigger countries for a start.
There was a lack of physical presence which will have to be sorted.
And the back row combination was not right, lacking a specialist openside and with two rather cumbersome forwards in it.
Players who could well come in against the Fijians in the front five are Iestyn Thomas, Robin McBryde and Gareth Llewellyn.
Long term if Ian Gough, Chris Wyatt and Andy Moore can regain full fitness and form, there could still be places for them.
In the back row, Cardiff captain Martyn Williams, a surprise omission against Romania, could be recalled as the specialist openside.
Skipper Colin Charvis could then move to the blindside position he is better suited for with either Scott Quinnell or Michael Owen at number eight, depending on what Hansen wants.
But it is evident that Quinnell and Owen can't both play in the same back row.
Behind, Tom Shanklin and Sonny Parker showed lots of promise in the centre and are worth persevering with. Stephen Jones is likely to start this time, as is Craig Morgan in one of the three positions which Hansen refers to as full backs.
The programme at Wrexham called the three places of full back, right wing and left wing as full back, right full back and left full back.
