George North and Nick Tompkins return to the starting line up in the centres.
Captain Dafydd Jenkins is named in the second row alongside Adam Beard. Alex Mann comes back into the Wales XV at blind-side flanker.
Tight-head prop Dillon Lewis makes his first start of the 2024 Championship.
Among the replacements tight-head prop Harri O’Connor is in line to win his first senior international cap. Kemsley Mathias and Kieran Hardy are also named in the match day 23 as front row and scrum half cover respectively.
