In the halfbacks, Tomos Williams and Ieun Lloyd, who played a role in Wales’s comeback against Scotland in round one, both start.

Outside Lloyd, veteran George North will make his 50th Six Nations appearance as he returns at outside centre to partner Nick Tompkins.

In the pack, Gatland has changed his front row with Gareth Thomas, Elliot Dee and Keiron Assiratti starting whilst in the backrow try scorer Alex Mann takes over from the injured James Botham.

Secondrow Daffyd Jenkins will once again captain the side and continues his partnership with Adam Beard as Will Rowlands returns to take a place on the bench and replaces Teddy Williams
