WALES centre Tyler Morgan returns to the starting line-up for Newport Gwent Dragons’ Guinness Pro12 clash with Zebre at Rodney Parade tomorrow (kick-off 7.05pm).

The 19-year-old, who made his Test debut against Ireland last month, came off the bench in last Friday’s 29-23 loss to Connacht in Galway but is handed a recall to the XV as one of four changes made by director of rugby Lyn Jones.

Wing Ashton Hewitt comes in with Tom Prydie moving to full-back at the expense of Carl Meyer, who is on the bench, while Brok Harris and Shaun Knight swap jerseys, the former getting the start at tighthead, and blindside flanker Lewis Evans returns following an elbow injury.

Morgan forms a midfield partnership with summer recruit Adam Warren with backs coach Shaun Connor looking forward to seeing the teenager in action after missing out on World Cup selection.

“We were hoping we wouldn’t have Tyler with us, unfortunately he come back a little bit earlier but he is busting to get out on the field again this weekend,” said the former fly-half.

“He has been excellent since he has come back and seems to have matured over the summer from training with better players and picking things up off them.”

Zebre, who have been training at Llanwern High School this week following their opening weekend 61-13 hammering at Cardiff Blues, include former Australia scrum-half Luke Burgess and seasoned second row Marco Bortolami.

The Italians triumphed when the sides met in Parma in March but they have endured three pointless trips to Rodney Parade, going down 25-11 in last season's meeting.
