What is Wales' best Rugby World Cup back-line?

Writing on Wales Online, Delme Parfitt analyses Warren Gatland's attacking options ahead of this weekend's clash with Fiji.

"It is the debate which just won’t go away for Wales - and as the World Cup progresses it appears to be taking on greater relevance with every passing game.

"Who should occupy the number 10 jersey? Or perhaps more importantly, who will?

"As the final, decisive pool match against Fiji approaches, Warren Gatland, like his home union counterparts, needs to decide whether to stick with the tried and trusted, or twist by going for the more volatile, unpredictable option.

"In other words, with James Hook in recovery from a shoulder injury and almost certain to be unavailable, does Gatland ask his 33-year-old centurion Stephen Jones to guide Wales into the knockout stages after making his comeback from calf trouble against Namibia?"
