In the forwards Rhys Thomas comes in for Gethin Robinson who moves to the bench while in the back row Michael Owen comes in for the injured Richard Bryan and will captain the side.

Kevin Morgan, Gareth Chapman, Hal Luscombe, Jon Bryant, Nathan Brew, Ceri Sweeney, Gareth Cooper, Adam Black, Steve Jones, Rhys Thomas, Ian Gough, Luke Charteris, Rhys Oakley, Jamie Ringer, Michael Owen (c).
