Wales boss Warren Gatland has made seven changes to the starting line-up for Saturday’s Six Nations clash against England at Twickenham.
Centre George North returns from injury for his 50th Six Nations appearance, lining up alongside Nick Tompkins in midfield.
Fly-half Sam Costelow, who went off injured during the first half of Wales’ 27-26 loss to Scotland last weekend, is replaced by Ioan Lloyd, with Tomos Williams at scrum-half.
Gatland has also selected a new front row of Gareth Thomas, Elliot Dee and Keiron Assiratti, with Cardiff flanker Alex Mann handed a first Wales start following his try-scoring appearance off the bench against Scotland.
Uncapped Bath prop Archie Griffin has been named among the replacements, where he is joined by Racing 92 lock Will Rowlands.
Rowlands linked up with the Wales squad earlier this week after his partner recently gave birth, while there are also chances on the bench for Dragons pair Taine Basham and Cai Evans, who is the son of former Wales captain Ieuan Evans.
