Wales international trio Aaron Wainwright, Elliot Dee and Leon Brown all return to the match day squad as Dragons face Edinburgh in the final Guinness PRO14 game of the season at Principality Stadium on Sunday (kick-off 2pm).
Wainwright returns in the back row as Director of Dragons Rugby, Dean Ryan, makes two changes for the rearranged Round 11 clash in the Welsh capital. Harrison Keddie moves across to openside to captain the side.
Centre Jack Dixon also returns to partner Aneurin Owen in midfield.
Leon Brown – who is set to make his 50th appearance for the region – and Elliot Dee are both named among the replacements.
Prop Greg Bateman also returns to the squad alongside fly half Evan Lloyd.
“We’ve got to get the first 30 or 40 minutes right. It’s difficult when you do the maths before the game, we just need to focus on our performance,” said Ryan.
“We have been pretty consistent the last three or four weeks and my biggest driver is ensuring that continues.
“By playing on Sunday we know what we need to do, but out focus has to be on how we perform and making sure we win the game.”
