Lock Joe Davies captains Dragons Development as they tackle Scarlets Development in a friendly fixture at Rodney Parade on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 2.30pm).
Davies leads a squad that includes a blend of Dragons Academy players and senior professionals gaining valuable minutes, plus several players making guest appearances from Super Rygbi Cymru teams.
Josh Reynolds, Sam Scarfe and Owain James join forces up front while Davies plays alongside Nick Thomas in the second row.
Evan Minto, Ryan Jones and Owen Conquer play in the back row.
Fly half Will Reed and scrum half Morgan Lloyd combine at half back.
Pontypool RFC centre Joel Mahoney makes a guest appearance while Newport RFC duo David Richards and Lloyd Lewis also play in the back line.
Ewan Rosser plays on the wing and Huw Anderson, fresh from his involvement with Wales during training for the Autumn Nations Series, plays at full back.
Tom Hancock, Senor Academy Coach at Dragons RFC, said: “It's a good opportunity for people who are Season Members and supporters of the Dragons to get a first glimpse of some of our youngest, most exciting prospects, play with the shackles off and with an excitement to go out there and prove themselves.
“It is also a chance to see some of our senior players who are returning from injury, who are short the minutes, put their hand up for selection. It will be exciting and a good thing to come and watch.”
