Wales put faith in Ospreys’ Baldwin

Wales hooker Scott Baldwin will make his first RBS 6 Nations start tomorrow after edging out "top player" Richard Hibbard for the number two shirt against France.

Hibbard, a British and Irish Test Lion, has been something of a mainstay in Wales teams during recent times, increasing his tally to 35 caps.

But 26-year-old Ospreys forward Baldwin impressed during the 12-6 win against South Africa three months ago, and he has kept the pressure on Hibbard, resulting in this weekend’s selection in Paris.
