Jenkins beefs up Wales pack

GARETH JENKINS reacted to Wales’ 21-9 defeat to Scotland by making seven changes for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations clash with France, including four in a revamped pack.

Wales lost the forward battle at Murrayfield and Jenkins has beefed up his pack in the hope of avoiding a fourth straight Test defeat.

Props Chris Horsman and Gethin Jenkins return to a new-look front row with Matthew Rees named the starting hooker in place of Rhys Thomas.
