Dragons return to Guinness PRO14 action as they travel to Italy to face Benetton Rugby at Stadio Comunale di Monigo on Sunday afternoon (kick-off 4pm UK time).
Boss Dean Ryan retains the same starting line-up that faced Munster in the last league outing at the start of November.
Changes on the bench see a return for lock Joe Maksymiw while Jared Rosser is also named among the replacements.
Winger Rosser will make his 50th appearance for the region if he features in Italy.
Director of Dragons Rugby Ryan is looking forward to seeing his team back in action but has warned his Dragons that Benetton will be a tough proposition on home soil.
He said: “They are a different side at home than they are away, but it is a period where both of us are challenged with players away on international duty.
“I would hope that this is a game, after playing three very tough fixtures against the Irish provinces, that we can show what we have learnt.
“We did that well against Zebre and we were disappointed not to kick on.
“This is a game that we would want to be much more competitive and really be able to exert some pressure rather than being under it, which we probably have been for large parts of the other games.”
