The Dragons hand a first start of the season to promising youngster David Richards as they head into the United Rugby Championship clash with Zebre at Rodney Parade on Saturday (5.15pm).
The Newport-based club make nine changes, one of them positional, from the starting line-up that took the field against the Ospreys.
Richards comes in on the right wing, with Angus O’Brien returning at full-back, Max Clark starting in the centre and Rhodri Williams featuring at scrum-half, while Sam Davies moves from No. 10 to fly-half.
