Alun Wyn Jones, George North and Nicky Smith will start with Aled Davies and Owen Watkin on the bench.
Waleshave made three changes to their side to face England in Cardiff on Saturday
with Jake Ball, James Davies and Dan Biggar coming into the starting XV.
Ball
comes into the second row alongside captain Alun Wyn Jones with Davies coming
into the back row alongside Aaron Wainwright and Ross Moriarty.
James
will also line-up alongside elder brother Jonathan Davies for the first time in
a Wales jersey. (The last pair of
brothers to play alongside each other for Wales was Jamie and Nicky Robinson in
2006).
Dan
Biggar comes into the starting line-up and will partner Gareth Davies at
half-back. The rest of the backline remains unchanged with Hadleigh
Parkes partnering Jonathan Davies in midfield and Josh Adams, George North and
Liam Williams comprising the back-three.
Wales
have also named an unchanged front row with Nicky Smith, Ken Owens and Tomas
Francis all starting.
"This
weekend is another opportunity for us to take the field, test ourselves and
continue our preparation for Japan," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland.
"It
is a little over five weeks until we kick off our campaign in Toyota against
Georgia and it is important we are fully prepared and rugby-ready by then.
"We
were disappointed to get the loss last weekend so it is important we step it up
on Saturday and put in a big display in front a of a packed Principality
Stadium.
"The
squad are looking forward to getting back out there, taking another step
towards the RWC and putting in a big performance."
Elliot
Dee, Wyn Jones and Dillon Lewis provide the front-row cover with Aaron Shingler
and Josh Navidi completing the forward contingent. Aled Davies, Jarrod
Evans and Owen Watkin are named as the backline cover.
