WALES international Hallam Amos moves back to the wing for Newport Gwent Dragons’ Guinness Pro12 encounter with Munster at Rodney Parade.
Head coach Kingsley Jones has made five personnel changes to the side that beat Zebre 11-6 last weekend for their first league victory since January.
Carl Meyer is back from a head injury at full-back with Amos moving to the left flank and Pat Howard shifting to the right against his former side.
Jack Dixon is recalled in midfield – meaning Adam Warren does not start for the first time since joining from the Scarlets in the summer of 2015 – while there are three new faces up front with loosehead Sam Hobbs, hooker Rhys Buckley and openside Ollie Griffiths coming in.
Munster make six changes to the side beaten by Cardiff Blues in Cork last weekend with four internationals coming into the XV in scrum-half Conor Murray, centre Keith Earls, lock Donnacha Ryan and influential number eight CJ Stander.
