Dragons RFC trio Elliot Dee, Aaron Wainwright and Rhodri Williams have all been selected in Wales’ squad to face England at the Principality Stadium this Saturday.
Hooker Dee and backrower Wainwright both start, meanwhile there is a spot on the bench for scrumhalf Williams as Wales search for their first win of the Championship.
England come to the Principality Stadium with hopes of taking the title but will need other results to go their way as they currently trail France by a point in the Six Nations standings.
Wainwright is one of two personnel changes made by head coach Matt Sherratt and joins captain Jac Morgan and Taulupe Faletau in the back row.
The other change sees Joe Roberts start on the wing in place of injured clubmate Tom Rogers with Ellis Mee switching from left to right wing and Blair Murray keeping his place at 15.
Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn continue their partnership in the centres as do half backs Toms Williams and Gareth Anscombe. Dee is alongside Nicky Smith and WillGriff John in an unchanged front five which also features Dafydd Jenkins and Will Rowlands at lock.
Dewi Lake, Gareth Thomas, Keiron Assiratti, Teddy Williams and Tommy Reffell are the forwards on the bench with Rhodri Williams, Jarrod Evans and nick Tompkins providing the backs cover.
Sherratt said: “Wales England is always a special occasion and we know it will be an incredible atmosphere at Principality Stadium.
“We’re excited to finish our campaign at home and are looking to put in our best performance on pitch on Saturday.”
