England found de Allende extremely hard to contain in their 29-20 defeat to South Africa last Saturday, with the powerful centre running straight through backrower Ben Earl and centre Henry Slade to set up the decisive try. Wales need to be able to stop de Allende on the gainline and I'm not sure Thomas is best placed to do this.

Wales fell to an all-time results low in their 143-year international rugby history after suffering an 11th successive defeat.

Warren Gatland insisted he still had the fight to continue as Wales coach, but would back any change after his team crashed to a record 11th consecutive Test defeat in a 52-20 rout by Australia on Sunday.
