NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have made three changes to their pack for tomorrow’s trip to Guinness Pro12 champions Glasgow (kick-off 7.35pm).
After the 37-13 thumping at Leinster director of rugby Lyn Jones hands recalls to flankers Lewis Evans and Nic Cudd while Elliot Dee makes his first start in nine months at hooker following shoulder surgery.
There is just one change behind with Aled Brew coming in on the left wing because of a raft of injuries which means two scrum-halves, Luc Jones and Charlie Davies, are named on the bench.
Exciting flanker Ollie Griffiths is set for a first appearance of the season as a replacement as a reward for some stellar displays with Newport RFC.
Australia international winger Taqele Naiyaravoro will make his Glasgow debut while fellow new recruits Greg Peterson and Simone Favaro could make their bows off the bench after reporting in from World Cup duty with the USA and Italy respectively.
