Props Brok Harris and Lloyd Fairbrother return as Dragons prepare to face Glasgow Warriors in a Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup clash at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday evening (kick-off 7.35pm).
The front row duo are part of six changes made to the starting line-up by Dean Ryan, Director of Dragons Rugby, for the fixture in the Welsh capital.
Hooker Richard Hibbard also packs down up front while lock Matthew Screech is back to partner Ben Carter in the second row.
Wales international Ross Moriarty is recalled and will captain the team in the Round Four fixture. Aaron Wainwright moves to Number Eight.
The only change in the back line is a return for on-loan full back Ioan Davies.
Hooker Elliot Dee is named among the replacements alongside the returning Evan Lloyd and Jamie Roberts.
“We’re looking forward to the game and playing at Cardiff City Stadium as I’m sure the new surroundings will give us a lift,” said Ryan.
“Glasgow are a side we’ve played pretty well against in recent times and the game we had at Principality Stadium was probably one of our highlights. We’re keen to test ourselves against them once again.
“The Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup has been good for us, freshened us up and given youngsters a real chance to impress.
“It’s ended the season in a positive way and there will be lots of our youngsters, and those across Wales, that will be looking forward to next season now and playing more of a role in starting line-ups.”
