Lock Matthew Screech will make his 150th appearance for Dragons when they face Munster Rugby in the Guinness PRO14 at Rodney Parade on Sunday afternoon (kick-off 2pm).
Second row Screech hits his major milestone while hooker Richard Hibbard will also make his 150th appearance – this time in the Guinness PRO14 - in the home clash with the unbeaten Irish province.
Boss Dean Ryan makes a total of five changes to the side that lost out at Ulster last time out.
Centre Jamie Roberts returns in the 12 jersey to partner Adam Warren while there is also a recall for Josh Lewis - who plays at full back - and wing Owen Jenkins.
Prop Brok Harris plays at loosehead and packs down alongside Hibbard and Lloyd Fairbrother.
The final change is a call-up for back row Ben Fry who plays at blindside flanker. Harrison Keddie moves across to openside.
Four changes among the replacements see Conor Maguire, Aaron Jarvis and Dafydd Howells all named alongside Ben Carter who could make his league debut for Dragons.
“There were lots of good things at Leinster and lots of good things at Ulster, but we struggled with power,” said Ryan.
“We know what is coming with Munster. We shouldn’t shy away from that. It is our challenge to come up with some answers.
“The Ireland sides are very direct, very powerful and we have got to come to terms with that.
“I don’t think anyone lacks effort in trying to get in front of them and stop them. But we can be smarter.”
