Tight-head prop Rhys Thomas packs down next to hooker Richard Hibbard and loose-head John Yapp in a new look front row.
Luke Charteris partners former Dragon Ian Gough in a side containing 12 changes from the side that narrowly lost to South Africa.
There’s a new cap in Scarlets scrum-half Martin Roberts while North Walian Sale prop Eifion Roberts and promising Ospreys outside half Dan Biggar are set to make their debuts from the bench.
