Newport Gwent Dragons have confirmed their starting line up for their European Challenge Cup semi final game against Clermont and have made three changes from the side that narrowly lost to Leinster.
Captain Kevin Morgan has fully recovered from his knee strain to take his place at fullback while the other changes are among the forwards. Prop Rhys Thomas makes his first start for the region since October having recovered from his chest injury and came through The Dragons Magners League game against Leinster last weekend. The other change sees Joe Bearman replace the injured Colin Charvis in the back row.
